Many circuits can be analyzed as a combination of series and parallel circuits, along with other configurations. In a series circuit, the current that flows through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the individual voltage drops across each component. [ 1 ]
Series and parallel composition operations for series–parallel graphs. In graph theory, series–parallel graphs are graphs with two distinguished vertices called terminals, formed recursively by two simple composition operations. They can be used to model series and parallel electric circuits.
Figure 1: Essential meshes of the planar circuit labeled 1, 2, and 3. R 1, R 2, R 3, 1/sC, and sL represent the impedance of the resistors, capacitor, and inductor values in the s-domain. V s and I s are the values of the voltage source and current source, respectively. Mesh analysis (or the mesh current method) is a circuit analysis method for ...
Series RL, parallel C circuit with resistance in series with the inductor is the standard model for a self-resonant inductor A series resistor with the inductor in a parallel LC circuit as shown in Figure 4 is a topology commonly encountered where there is a need to take into account the resistance of the coil winding and its self-capacitance.
"Simply put, in a parallel circuit current increases but the voltage stays the same, and in a series circuit current stays the same but the voltage increases". In a series circuit the voltage actually decreases after each resistor, also known as voltage drop. Let's say we have a series circuit with 12v and 2 resistors.
The answer is not obvious, since the terminal voltage will not be V θ after Z e is connected. Instead, we imagine that we attach, in series with impedance Z e, a source with electromotive force E equal to V θ but directed to oppose V θ, as shown in Figure 2b. No current will then flow through Z e since E balances V θ.

An example of series RLC circuit and respective phasor diagram for a specific ω.The arrows in the upper diagram are phasors, drawn in a phasor diagram (complex plane without axis shown), which must not be confused with the arrows in the lower diagram, which are the reference polarity for the voltages and the reference direction for the current.
