If one speaker is wired in a series circuit, and another speaker is added to the same series, what happens to the volume of the speakers?

When speakers are wired in a series circuit, the total resistance in the circuit increases with each added speaker. Since the overall resistance in the circuit rises, the current delivered to the speakers is reduced according to Ohm’s law, which states that current is inversely proportional to resistance for a given voltage.

As the current decreases, the power supplied to each speaker also diminishes, resulting in a lower volume output from each speaker. Therefore, when an additional speaker is connected in series, the overall effect is a decrease in volume for both speakers. This outcome ties back to the principles of electrical circuits where increasing resistance leads to reduced current flow, which in turn affects the performance of the speakers.
