A simple series circuit can be expected to behave as a simple series
circuit. Other circuits can be expected to behave differently. Which
do you think applies?



An *ordinary prudent man* would think that one foot
of wire is a "simple series circuit" and it is in a
DC circuit.


Most ordinary prudent men that I know wouldn't characterize a one foot
length of wire as a series circuit.
