Understanding Series Circuits:

In a series circuit, the electrical components are connected one after the other, forming a single continuous loop for the current flow.

The current through each component in a series circuit is the same.

If any component in a series circuit breaks or malfunctions (like a bulb burning out), the entire circuit is interrupted, and no current flows through any of the components.
