"Series circuit" means one single conducting path between the terminals of the power
source.
The current through the conductor is the physical motion of electrons. Some
number of electrons enters the conductor at one end, some number of electrons
leaves the conductor at the other end, some number of electrons pass some point
along the conductor between the ends, etc.
The only way these numbers could be different would be for someone to punch a little
hole somewhere in the conductor, and either pump more electrons into the hole,
or else let some electrons leak out of the hole as they pass that point. If that's not
happening, and electrons are not being spontaneously created or destroyed in the
conducting material, then the number must be the same everywhere in it.
At a neighborhood park on a Summer day, you'll often see a long plastic tube
stretched out on the ground, with children crawling into one end and out the
other end. If there is no labor and delivery ward inside the tube, and no hidden
hole down into a coal-mine below, then the number of children that enter the
tube must be the same as the number that come out of the other end, and the
same number that pass any point along the length of the tube.

What do amps do in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, the current (amps) is constant throughout the circuit. This means that the same amount of current flows through each component connected in series. The current is not divided or reduced as it travels through the circuit.
In a series circuit what is the same at every point?
In a series circuit, the current is the same at every point in the circuit. This means that the flow of electric charge is constant throughout all components in the series.
How does current travel in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, current flows through each component in the circuit one after the other, like cars traveling in a single file on a road. The current is the same at all points in a series circuit as it has no other path to take.
Consider two identical resistors wired in series one behind the other If there is an electric current through the combination the current in the second resistor is?
The current passing through each resistor in a series circuit is the same. Therefore, the current passing through the second identical resistor in this setup will be the same as the current passing through the first resistor.
How many pathways are there in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, there is only one pathway for current to flow from the source, through each component, and back to the source. This means all the components in a series circuit share the same current.
What is the importance of series circuit?
current is flow through the circuit in same manner.
How is current distributed in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, all components gets the same amount of current passing through them.
What do amps do in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, the current (amps) is constant throughout the circuit. This means that the same amount of current flows through each component connected in series. The current is not divided or reduced as it travels through the circuit.
What is the current of a series-parallel circuit connection?
The current flowing through a series circuit is (voltage between the circuit's ends) / (sum of all resistances in the circuit). The current is the same at every point in the series circuit.
In a series circuit what is the same at every point?
In a series circuit, the current is the same at every point in the circuit. This means that the flow of electric charge is constant throughout all components in the series.
In a circuit the current is the same everywhere?
By Kirchoff's current law, a series circuit has the same current everywhere.
This circuit is a series circuit because?
the same current flows through both light bulbs
How does current travel in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, current flows through each component in the circuit one after the other, like cars traveling in a single file on a road. The current is the same at all points in a series circuit as it has no other path to take.
Series circuit is a circuit that has only one path for volage flow?
No, that is a paralel circuit. a series circuit has two paths
What happens to current in a series circuit?
the current in series will be same..
Consider two identical resistors wired in series one behind the other If there is an electric current through the combination the current in the second resistor is?
The current passing through each resistor in a series circuit is the same. Therefore, the current passing through the second identical resistor in this setup will be the same as the current passing through the first resistor.
A W bulb and a W bulb are connected in series in a circuit Which bulb has the greater current flowing in it?
A series circuit is where there is only one path for the current. As a result, and as a direct consequence of Kirchoff's current law, the current at every point in a series circuit is the same. The two bulbs have the same current flowing through them.
