Series Circuit

My next lesson was learning about a series circuit and how its worked.

The series circuit is very similar and almost identical to the individual circuit but involves attaching 2 or more bulbs onto the circuit.

The components needed are the same as that of the individual circuit (bulb/s, switch, fuse, power supply and nessesary wiring).

A series circuit works the same way as a individual circuit but with added bulbs or consumers.
The bulbs/consumers act as a resistor and consume the voltage as it goes through the circuit soaking up power from consumer to consumer but as it travels through the bulbs (for example) each one, one after the other will get from the resulting voltage drop.
