Whenever you have circuits that consist of more than one electronic component, those electronic components must be linked together. The two ways to connect components in a circuit are in series and in parallel.
In a series connection, components are connected end to end, so that current flows first through one, then through the other. A series circuit is one that provides only one path for electricity to follow. In the series connection, the current goes through one component and then the other. If any of the component get damaged then the entire circuitry get open circuited ,thus entire circuit is broken and none of the components will work.
As a instance ,in a series connected lamp circuitry if either one of the lamps burns out, neither lamp will work. That's because current must flow through all lamps for the circuit to be complete.
So, to make a simple series circuit we need-
A battery or dc voltage source.
Two lamps.
Wires.
Clips.
Procedure:
Arrange the entire circuit as shown in the figure, that is connect the lamps end to end configuration & then connect each end to the two terminals of the voltage source. Then, you’ll use your multimeter to measure the voltages at various points in the circuit. An interesting thing happens with voltage when components are connected in series: the voltages present at each component are divided up. For example, in a circuit with a 3 V battery and two identical lamps connected in series, each lamp will see only one and a half volts. If you connected three identical lamps in series, each lamp would see only one volt.
