series
In electronics, two components can be connected together in two different ways, series and parallel. Each component has two different ends or poles. They can be positive and negative but may not be. For identification, they are known as Alpha and Beta. While the nomenclature is not exactly original, it serves the purpose. If similar components, such as a resistor and another resistor, or a capacitor and another capacitor, are in series in a circuit, the alpha pole of one is connected to the beta pole of the other, directly, while the other alpha and other beta poles do NOT connect.
