Is there a way to bypass a component in series in a circuit if that component fails?
Imagine a couple of speakers connected in series. Could there be a way to build such circuit with the ability to close the circuit if one component isn't working anymore? Like a different path that ignores the malfunctioning component, maybe using a…

Connecting 4 dev boards (5V) in series to 20V power supply
What will happen if I connect 4 identical Orange Pi One boards (which require 5V @ 2A) in series to a 20V @ 2A power supply? The reason I want to do this instead of using four 5V power supplies or one 5V @ 8A in parallel, is because the 20V one is…

Resistor placement in series
Let's say you have an LED and a resistor as part of a series circuit. Why does the order of the two not matter? Why does the resistor not have to be between the negative terminal and the LED to reduce the current before it reaches the LED?
