An ==Key Stage 3=====Meaning===A [[Series Circuit]] is an [[Circuit|electrical circuit]] with only one path for the [[Electrical Current|current]] to flow. ===About Series Circuits===: In a '''series circuit''' the [[Electrical Current|Current]] is the same at all locations.: [[Electrical Component|Components]] placed in '''series''' share the [[Potential Difference]] supplied by the [[power]] source. ===Examples==={| class="wikitable"|-|[[File:CircuitCellBulbAmmeterSeries.png|center|200px]]|[[File:CircuitCellMotorResistorSeries.png|center|200px]]|[[File:CircuitCellMotorResistorBulbSeries.png|center|200px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |The [[Electrical Bulb|bulb]] and [[Ammeter]] are in [[Series Circuit|series]] so they have the same [[Electrical Current|Current]] going through them.| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |The [[motor]] and [[resistor]] are in [[Series Circuit|series]] so they have the same [[Electrical Current|Current]] passing through them but share the 1.5[[V]] [[Potential Difference]] between them.| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |The [[motor]], [[resistor]] and [[Electrical Bulb|bulb]] are in [[Series Circuit|series]] so they all have the same [[Electrical Current|Current]] passing through them but share the 1.5[[V]] [[Potential Difference]] between them.|}
