Current is measured in a series circuit by the use of a multimeter. First, the power source must be attached to the circuit board. The board is attached to the multimeter, then that is attached back to the power source.
AnswerCurrent is measured either with an ammeter, or with a multimeter set to measure current. The instrument must be connected in series with the other components in the circuit.

A circuit that has only one path for the current is called?
Series, because everything in the circuit is in series.
What is the affect of a series circuit on current?
by adding the the resistances in series the total resistance of the circuit increses and thus the crunt flowing in the circuit decrese. Ans 2 . the current in series circuit of constant resistance will always be the same . It will not effect the current .
What is your observation of the current in series circuit?
The current in a series circuit will be directly proportional to the voltage applied to the circuit, and inversely proportional to the resistance in it. Additionally, there will be one and only one path for that current, as it is a series circuit. All the current in the circuit will have to pass through each each element of the circuit. The current will all flow in one direction in a DC circuit; current is unidirectional. And will flow "back and forth" in an AC circuit, or will alternate directions, as one might expect.
What does a load do to the flow of electrical current in a series circuit?
A load increases the flow of electrical current in a series circuit. No load, no flow.
What is used to measure the current in a circuit and how is it connected?
To measure the current in the circuit an ammeter is used and it is connected in series
How to measure current?
Current in a circuit can be measured by using a device called ammeter that is always connected in series in the circuit in which current is to be measured.
How is a parallel circuit the same as a series circuit?
In both cases, the power dissipated is measured by multiplying the voltage across the circuit by the current through the circuit.
Is a series circuit the same as a parallel circuit?
In both cases, the power dissipated is measured by multiplying the voltage across the circuit by the current through the circuit.
Why are ammeters placed in series in a circuit?
Current "flows" through the circuit, through the conductor. Hence an ammeter is in series so that the current under measurement also flow through the meter and measured.
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.
The current in a circuit is measured in?
Amperes
In a circuit the current is the same everywhere?
By Kirchoff's current law, a series circuit has the same current everywhere.
The total opposition to current in a series RC circuit is called?
Assuming you are talking about an AC circuit, then the total opposition to the flow of current in an R-C circuit is called its impedance (symbol: Z), measured in ohms. This is the vector sum of the circuit's resistance (R) and its capacitive reactance (XC) -each also measured in ohms.
What is the formula for total current in a series circuit?
Current = (Voltage across the circuit) divided by (Total resistance of the circuit). The current is the same at every point in the series circuit.
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.
What happens to current in a series circuit?
the current in series will be same..
What is the current flowing in a circuit measured in?
amperes or A.
