1. A group or a number of related or similar things, events, etc., arranged or occurring in temporal, spatial, or other order or succession; a sequence.
2. A number of games, contests, or sporting events, with the same participants, considered as a unit.
3. A set, as of coins or stamps.
4. A set of successive volumes or issues of a periodical published in like form with similarity of subject or purpose.
5. Radio and Television, a daily or weekly program with the same cast and format and a continuing story, as a soap opera, situation comedy, or drama; a number of related programs having the same theme, cast, or format.
6. In rhetoric, a succession of coordinate sentence elements.
7. In geology, a division of stratified rocks that is of next higher rank to a stage and next lower rank to a system, comprising deposits formed during part of a geological epoch.
8. In chemistry, a group of related chemical elements arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers.
9. In electricity, the arrangement of connecting components in a circuit to form a single path for current and operating with such arrangementa: series coil, series feed, series modulation, etc.

Often, a series of lectures in a college course in which there is a definite link; such as, modern art or domestic economy, binds the separate lectures together.

A list of elements arranged according to their standard electrode potentials, with noble metals; such as, gold, being positive and active metals, including zinc, being negative.

1. The classification of metals in the order of their electrode potentials.
2. A serial arrangement of metallic elements or ions according to their electrode potentials determined under specified conditions; the order shows the tendency of one metal to reduce the ions of any other metal below it in the series.
3. A series in which the metals and other substances are listed in the order of their chemical reactivity or electrode potentials, the most reactive at the top and the less reactive at the bottom.
4. A tabulation on which various substances; such as, metals or elements, are listed according to their chemical reactivity or standard electrode potential.

It is usually ordered with increasing standard electrode potentials (most negative on top).

For metals, the order indicates the tendency to spontaneously reduce the ions of any other metal below it in the series.

During electrolytic reduction of cations (for example, electroplating) an element lower in the series (more positive) will deposit first, and an element higher in the series (more negative) will deposit only when the solution is practically depleted of the ions of the first element.

1. A list of materials which produce an electrostatic charge when rubbed together, arranged in such an order that a material has a positive charge when rubbed with a material below it in the list, and has a negative charge when rubbed with a material above it in the list.
2. A type of contact electrification in which certain materials become electrically charged after they come into contact with a different material and are then separated by rubbing.

The polarity and strength of the charges which are produced are determined by the materials, surface roughness, temperature, and other characteristics.

A television series of short duration, on a single theme.

The connecting of two or more series of circuits in parallel.

An electrical circuit in which each component is joined end-to-end successively with the next, so that the same current flows through each component.

A type of hybrid electric vehicle that runs on battery power like a pure electric vehicle until the batteries discharge to a set level, when an alternative power unit turns on to recharge the battery.
