In a series circuit, I1 is exactly the same amount as I2 right? (Amperes.)
A series circuit is a type of electrical circuit in which the components are connected one after the other, forming a single pathway for current to flow through.
The components of a series circuit include a power source (such as a battery), a load (such as a light bulb), and connecting wires.
In a series circuit, current flows through each component in the same direction. This means that the same amount of current flows through each component, and the total current is equal to the sum of the individual currents.
In a series circuit, the current remains constant throughout the circuit, while the voltage drops as it passes through each component. This means that the voltage across the power source will be equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each component.
To calculate the total resistance in a series circuit, simply add the individual resistance values of each component. This can be represented by the formula Rtotal = R1 + R2 + ... + Rn, where Rtotal is the total resistance and R1, R2, etc. are the individual resistances.
