seriekoplede
Seriekoplede, or series-connected, refers to a configuration in which two or more electrical elements are connected end-to-end in a single path, so current flows through them sequentially. In a series circuit, the same current passes through every component because there is only one path for the current.
Key properties of seriekoplede include:
- The current I is the same through all components.
- The total voltage is the sum of the voltages across each component: V_total = V1 + V2 + ... + Vn.
- The total resistance for resistors in series is the sum of their resistances: R_total = R1 + R2
- For capacitors in series, the reciprocals add: 1/C_eq = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + ... + 1/Cn. For inductors in series, the
- In AC circuits, the same principle applies with impedances Z instead of resistances.
Voltage division in seriekoplede follows V_i = I × R_i (or V_i = I × Z_i in AC), so
Common applications include configurations where a controlled current through all components is needed or where voltages
