	Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A series circuit is one that has a single path for current flow through all of its elements.
		Series circuits are sometimes called cascade-coupled or daisy chain-coupled.
		The working voltage of a series combination of identical capacitors is equal to the sum of voltage ratings of individual capacitors provided that equalizing resistors are used to ensure equal voltage division.

	Series Lighting Circuitry: Why Use It?
		The constant current regulator, isolation transformer, and series circuit wiring are the three major components of this type of lighting circuitry.
		This device transforms the current of the primary series circuit (either 6.6A or 20A) to a secondary current of 6.6A while limiting the secondary voltage to 135V or less.
		The selection of circuit ampere rating (6.6A or 20A) is a function of the maximum circuit voltage of the source at its rated current and load.

	Simple Series Circuits - Series And Parallel Circuits
		The first principle to understand about series circuits is that the amount of current is the same through any component in the circuit.
		This is because there is only one path for electrons to flow in a series circuit, and because free electrons flow through conductors like marbles in a tube, the rate of flow (marble speed) at any point in the circuit (tube) at any specific point in time must be equal.
		This is the third principle of series circuits: that the supply voltage is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops.

	series circuit
		An electrical circuit in which the components are connected end to end, so that the current flows through them all one after the other.

	Series and Parallel Circuits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		A series circuit is a circuit in which resistors are arranged in a chain, so the current has only one path to take.
		A parallel circuit is a circuit in which the resistors are arranged with their heads connected together, and their tails connected together.
		Generally, the total resistance in a circuit like this is found by reducing the different series and parallel combinations step-by-step to end up with a single equivalent resistance for the circuit.

		An RLC circuit (also known as a resonant circuit or a tuned circuit) is an electrical circuit consisting of a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C), connected in series or in parallel.
		In practice, this requires decreasing the resistance R in the circuit to as small as physically possible for a series circuit, and increasing R to as large a value as possible for a parallel circuit.
		In this circuit, the three components are all in series with the voltage source.

	How to Wire a Circuit "In Parallel"
		In a series circuit, the path of electrons from the negative (-) side to the positive (+) side goes through all the electrical components of the circuit.
		Another way to think of this is that if you open the circuit at one point, on either side of a component, there is no complete path for the electrons to follow from - to + for any of the components.
		Series circuits are used extensively in electronics but rarely by someone who is providing power to electrical components such as supplying power to a group of lights as in the case of low voltage LED lights sold by Berkeley Point.

	Lessons In Electric Circuits -- Volume II (AC) - Chapter 6
		A word of caution is in order with series LC resonant circuits: because of the high currents which may be present in a series LC circuit at resonance, it is possible to produce dangerously high voltage drops across the capacitor and the inductor, as each component possesses significant impedance.
		One notable exception to the rule of circuit resistance causing a resonant frequency shift is the case of series resistor-inductor-capacitor (“RLC”) circuits.
		Impedance is at a minumum at resonance in a series resonant circuit.
