Question

Which of the following statements is/are correct for a series type of connection in an electric circuit?

• A. Electricity has only one path to flow through the circuit.
• B. Each electric component is connected in a seperate path.
• C. Each electric component is connected in a single path.
• D. Electricity has multiple paths to flow through the circuit.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A Electricity has only one path to flow through the circuit.
C Each electric component is connected in a single path.

In a series type of connection, there exists only one path in the circuit for the electricity to flow through. All the electric components present in the circuit are connected in this path. So, if one of the components fails or if there is any break anywhere in the path, the circuit will be incomplete and electricity does not flow.
