How will amps and current differ in a series if you get resistors with different resistance?
-- "Amps" and "current" are the same thing. Electric current is measured in units of Amperes. -- The current is always the same at every point in a series circuit, no matter how many resistors of the same or different values are in the circuit.
Why do you only need one ammeter in a circuit?
An ammeter is a amp meter put into a circuit in series. There is virtually no voltage drop or resistance in an ammeter so two in series would be redundant. If you have one in a circuit it will tell you the amps that circuit is generating, two would both give virtually the same result.
What is a seiries circuit?
Series CircuitWe say Resistances are in series if the same current flows through all Resistances. A circuit containing of only series resistances is called a series circuit. A series circuit is a circuit that has the same intensity of current flow through its elements.
What are the differences between parallel circuit and series circuit?
Parallel circuits can have more than one way around the circuit I.e. ______O______ |______O_____| |_____|-______| Series circuits only have one way around the circuit I.e. ______O______ |______|-_____| Key: __ or | = wire O = light |- = battery/cell
True or false in a series circuit circuit current is the same throughout the circuit?
A series circuit only has one loop

How does current travel in a series circuit?
Current in a series circuit travels in one path. This is because a series circuit is only one path. current in a series circuit stays the same thoughout the circuit this means that if in the beginning of the circuit there are 2 amps of current there will be the same ammount of current in the middle and in the end of it. if you don't understand this please tell me and ill explain in a better way.

In series circuit why current drop beceause according to kichroff law cuurent remain same in series circuit?
In a series circuit current does stay the same thoughout the circuit, voltage drops in the series circuit.

Should amps coming in be same as amps going out on neutral wire?
Yes, on a 2-wire circuit you will always have the same current anywhere in the circuit unless there is another path (fault) for it to travel.
In a circuit the current is the same everywhere?
By Kirchoff's current law, a series circuit has the same current everywhere.
THE AMPS the same when two batterys are conectec in series?
Yes, the amps stay the same but the voltage doubles. If you connect in parallel the volts stay the same and the amps double.
Is the current in a series circuit high all the way round?
That depends on what you call "high".Whether or not you consider it high, the current is the same all the way around a series circuit.

Do parts of a series circuit have the same amount of volts?
No. Parts of a series circuit have the same amount of current, but not necessarily the same amount of voltage.
