series circuit

• describe the shape of the circuit

  all in one loop
• what happens if one part of the component is disconnected or broken in a series circuit

  the whole circuit stops working
• what is shared across all components

  the voltage
• what is the voltage total equation

  Vtotal = V1 + V2 + V3...
• what is the same all over the circuit

  the current
• what is the current measured with

  ammeter (A)
• does the position of the ammeter matter

  no
• what is the equation of the voltage total

  Vtotal = V1 + V2 + V3...
• how do we calculate the current

  I = V / R
• what is the original ohms law

  V = IR
• how do you work out the total resistance

  total resistance = individual components resistance added together
• what does a series circuit look like
