sarjaliityntä
Sarjaliityntä, a Finnish term translating to "series connection" in English, refers to a method of connecting electrical components or devices in an electrical circuit where the components are arranged end-to-end. This arrangement ensures that the electric current flows through each component sequentially. In a series connection, the total resistance of the circuit is the sum of the individual resistances of each component. Similarly, the voltage across the entire series arrangement is distributed among the individual components, with each component receiving a portion of the total voltage.
The defining characteristic of a series connection is that there is only one path for the current
