DC Voltage in a Series Circuit

In a series circuit of lamps, the total voltage supplied by the generator is distributed across the lamps.

Voltage across Open Switch

When the switch is open, no current flows through the branch the switch is in. The voltage across that branch is 0 V.

Current in Series Circuit

In a series circuit, the current is the same through all components.

Voltage across Lamp in Series

The voltage across a lamp in a series circuit is dependent on the resistance of the lamp and the current flowing through it.
