Series Calculations
Simple circuits
 When the switch is closed, the lamp lights up. This is because there is
a continuous path of metal for the electric current to flow around.
 If there were any breaks in the circuit, the current could not flow.

 Scientists usually draw
electric circuits using
symbols;
 Electrons flow in a closed
circuit opposite the indicated
current direction!(repelled by
negative terminal)

 IT = I1 + I2 + I3 + I4 + In
 Voltage is the same everywhere

 If 1 path is broken, the current will
continue to flow in all other paths
