Series Connection Explained With Water | Electrical Wiring Simulator

Water example

In a series connection, there is only one path.

Water must pass through every part in order.

One water path → One electrical path

Water example

If the first valve is closed, water can reach the valve but cannot continue past it.

Because there is no second route, flow stops.

Water example

There is only one route, so the same steady flow rate passes through every part of the pipe.

Same water flow → Same current

Water example

The total pressure difference is shared across the restrictions.

Each restriction causes part of the total pressure drop.
