Series systems, also known as series circuits, are a type of electrical circuit where components are connected end-to-end, forming a single path for current flow. In a series system, the same current flows through each component, and the total voltage across the system is the sum of the voltages across each individual component. This is governed by Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, which states that the sum of the voltages around any closed loop in a circuit is zero.

The key characteristics of series systems include:

1. The same current flows through all components.

2. The total resistance of the system is the sum of the individual resistances.

3. If one component fails, the entire circuit is interrupted.

4. The brightness of light bulbs in a series circuit is inversely proportional to their resistance.

Series systems are commonly used in applications where a constant current is required, such as in certain types of sensors and in some types of electrical meters. However, they are less common in power distribution due to the risk of a single component failure interrupting the entire circuit.
