There is no current at all in the series circuit until the last component is in place, and the order in which they're arranged in the series circuit has no effect on the magnitude of current.
In a parallel circuit the voltages for each component are all the same, and the current is shared, each component drawing a current depending on its conductance. In a series circuit, the current in each component is the same, and so each one gets a voltage proportional to its resistance.
The product of the instantaneous voltage and the instantaneous current for a circuit or component.
Two resistors in parallel are equivalent to a single component with a lower resistance than either of the pair. Two resistors in series are equivalent to a single component with a resistance equal to the sum of the pair, therefore a higher resistance. For a given potential difference, more current in total will flow through two resistors in parallel than through the same resistors in series.
It is the component of the earths magnet field which aligns the compass needle to the Magnetic North Pole. The Horizontal Component (directive force) is the greatest at the magnetic Equator (Aclinic Line), where the vertical component is the weakest. Above the magnetic north pole, it is the opposite. The Horizontal, or directive force is weakest and the vertical component is the strongest.
Power dissipated by the entire series circuit = (voltage between its ends)2 / (sum of resistances of each component in the circuit). Power dissipated by one individual component in the series circuit = (current through the series circuit)2 x (resistance of the individual component).
A component is a Reusable building block .
Component means "part" or "part of" in science.
1) If any component fails, then the whole circuit fails. 2) Voltage across any component may be hard to control.

The two basic circuit types are series circuits and parallel circuits. In a series circuit, all the current flows through each component, and each one drops some of the applied voltage. In a parallel circuit, the applied voltage is dropped across each parallel component and current "splits" so some flows through each component.
A series circuit is one in which components are placed one after the other, rather than side by side as in parallel circuits. In series, the output of the component leads directly to the input of the next one.
