serietilkobling

Serietilkobling, also known as series connection, is a method of connecting electrical components such that the electric current flows through each component in succession. In a series circuit, there is only one path for the current to follow. If one component in the series breaks or is removed, the entire circuit will cease to function because the path for the current is interrupted.

The total resistance in a series circuit is the sum of the individual resistances of each component. This means that as more components are added in series, the total resistance of the circuit increases. Consequently, the current flowing through the circuit decreases according to Ohm's Law (I = V/R).

Voltage in a series circuit is divided among the components. Each component will have a voltage drop across it, and the sum of these voltage drops will equal the total voltage supplied by the power source. The voltage drop across each component is proportional to its resistance.

Common examples of series connections include simple light bulb circuits where multiple bulbs are wired one after another, or the connection of batteries to increase the overall voltage output. Understanding serietilkobling is fundamental in electronics and electrical engineering for designing and analyzing circuits.
