Rexttotal=R1+R2+...R_{ ext{total}} = R_1 + R_2 + ...Rexttotal=R1+R2+...
It is the sum of individual resistances
Current must pass through each resistor
Ohms (Ω)
Always less than the smallest resistor
1Rtotal=1R1+1R2\frac{1}{R_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}Rtotal1=R11+R21
Current has multiple paths to take
Total resistance decreases
Series circuit
Multiple paths for current
