What circuit has more than load connected in a single electrical path?

A circuit with more than one load connected in a single electrical path is known as a series circuit. In a series circuit, the current flows through each load sequentially, meaning that the same current passes through all components. If one load fails or is disconnected, the entire circuit is interrupted, and all devices will stop working. This configuration contrasts with a parallel circuit, where loads are connected across common points and operate independently.
