2. There is a single path for the electrons to flow between the terminals of the battery.
3. In a series combination, all the appliances work simultaneously.
4. If any appliance is not working, the series combination circuit breaks and no current flows.
5. Due to no current, other appliances stop working.
6. Hence, in a series combination, the working of the appliances is very much dependent on each other.
