in series
Wired without branching
In series describes things arranged one after another in sequence, where each element follows the previous.
In electrical circuits, components wired in series share a single path for current—if one fails, the circuit breaks.
More broadly, events or items connected in series occur or are positioned consecutively rather than simultaneously or in parallel: The experiments were run in series over six months.
