When resistors are connected in series, the current through each resistor is the same. In other words, the current is the same at all points in a series circuit. When resistors are connected in ...

Complex circuits may have some resistors connected in series, and some connected in parallel. For example, the following combination of resistors shows two resistors connected in series ...

Even its uses in circuits are many, but here we’ll just focus on the different types of fixed-value resistors, how they’re made, and what makes them desirable for different applications.
