Pronunciation: [ɪn sˈi͡əɹiz] (IPA) 
The phrase "in series" is commonly used to refer to things that are arranged one after the other. In phonetic transcription, it is spelled as /ɪn ˈsɪriːz/, which represents the sounds of each individual letter. The "i" and "n" are pronounced separately as "ih" and "n", while the double "s" sounds like a hiss, and the final "s" is pronounced as a "z". The emphasis is placed on the second syllable, with a long "ee" sound.
"In series" is a phrase commonly used in the field of electrical engineering and physics to describe a connection or arrangement of components or elements that are connected sequentially or one after another, forming a continuous path for the flow of electric current or the transmission of signals. When elements are connected in series, the current passing through each element is the same.
In series, each component or element is connected such that the output or connection point of one element is directly connected to the input or starting point of the next element, and so on. This creates a chain-like configuration where the current flows through one element before passing through the next one, and so forth. This arrangement can be used in various electrical circuits, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and other electronic devices.
The total resistance, impedance, or any other relevant quantity in a series circuit is obtained by simply adding the individual values or parameters of the connected elements. This means that if there are resistors in series, their resistance values are added together to obtain the total resistance of the series combination.
Overall, "in series" refers to a connection or arrangement of components or elements where they are connected one after another in a sequential manner, allowing the flow of current or transmission of signals through them in a series circuit arrangement.
The word "series" originated from the Latin word "series", meaning "row, chain, or sequence". It entered Middle English through Old French around the 14th century. The phrasal expression "in series" is derived from this noun form, with the preposition "in" indicating inclusion or membership within the series.
