'''Series circuits''' are sometimes referred to as current-coupled or [[Daisy chain(incorrect) (electrical engineering)|daisy chain(incorrect)]]-coupled. The current in a series circuit goes through every component in the circuit. Therefore, all of the components in a series connection carry the same current.
A series circuit has only one path through which its current can flow. Opening or breaking a series circuit at any [[Single point of failure|point]] causes the entire circuit to "open" or stop operating. For example, if even one of the light bulbs in an older-style string of [[Christmas tree lights]] burns out or is removed, the entire string becomes inoperable until the faulty bulb is replaced.
