Bob F Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Posted February 21, 2009 Too easy, huh? Well done, you are all correct. It's a series circuit. A series circuit is the simplest circuit. The conductors, control and protection devices, loads, and power source are connected with only one path to ground for current flow. The resistance of each device can be different. The same amount of current will flow through each. The voltage across each will be different. If the path is broken, no current flows and no part of the circuit works. Christmas tree lights are a good example; when one light goes out the entire string stops working. Quote
