Amps.

Front

What happens to the voltage in a series circuit?

Back

The voltage is split between the components.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A circuit where components are connected end-to-end, so the same current flows through all of them.

Front

What happens if one component fails in a series circuit?

Back

The entire circuit stops working.

Front

How does adding more components affect the total resistance in a series circuit?

Back

The total resistance increases.

Front

What is the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in a series circuit?

Back
