Series circuits

The following schematic diagram shows a series circuit:

The preceding diagram shows a series circuit where the current only has one path from the source to the return. In this circuit, the load consists of two resistors. One resistor has a value of 330 ohms and the other has a value 220 ohms. Now let's look at several properties of a series circuit.

Resistance

The total resistance of a series circuit is the sum of the resistance of each component of the load. In the example circuit, the load consists of two resistors with values of 220 ohms and 330 ohms. If we add these two values together we get a total resistance of 550 ohms.
