∙ 15y agoYour question is too broad. What is linked in series in your circuit? Resistance is never completely constant in any circuit. (Due to imperfections in the wire itself, discrepancies in its density & manufacture, etc) While input and output can be comparable, the resistance is only an average between the two over the length of the circuit in question. Resistance, however IS a constant in that there is always SOME resistance present in any circuit.

∙ 11y agoNothing about a series circuit is necessarily constant.
You may be thinking of the current, which is the same number at any point in a series circuit.
That doesn't mean that it can't change. But if it does change, it'll change at every point, and
still be the same number everywhere in the series circuit.

∙ 11y agoWell it is all the same because the current (flow of electrons) cannot be changed/removed etc. They are the same because they are constantly flowing around the wires and through the components.

∙ 9y ago-- (The sum of the voltage drops across every conductor and every component in the series circuit) plus (the voltage drop across the battery or power supply),
all taken in the same direction, is zero, and is constant.
-- The current measured at any point in the series circuit is the same.

In a series circuit each device that is added to circuit decreases the?
Ohm's Law answers your question. Voltage = Current x Resistance. In a series circuit you are in effect adding resistance. If the Voltage remains constant then the answer is obvious looking at the equation above.
Why isn't resistance constant?
If measuring resistance of materials or resistors by themselves(not soldered into a circuit board) resistance is constant. If measuring resistance of a circuit then it could fluctuate with the components functioning in the circuit.
How is the total resistance in a series circuit is determined?
The total resistance in a series circuit is determined by adding (summing) the individual resistances of each component in the circuit.
What happens in a series circuit if the resistance is halved?
If you add a second resistor, the resistance of series circuit will increase.
Why current in series combination is constant?
Normally, but if the circuit has capacitors this is not necessarily true.Another viewpoint:No. The current doesn't have to be constant in a series circuit, It can grow, shrink,wax, wane, switch on, switch off, or wander randomly about. But whatever it is,it must be the same at all points in the series circuit.
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 .

Does current effect the resistance in an electric series circuit?
The resistance remains constant. The voltage would change, in accordance with Ohms' law, with a change in current.
What happens in a series circuit if the resistance is halved?
If you add a second resistor, the resistance of series circuit will increase.
How do you calculate the joint resistance in a series circuit with three resistances?
The resistance of a series circuit is simply the sum of the individual resistors.
How are resistance combined in a series circuit?
Resistances are additive in a series circuit.

In a AC parallel circuit which is constant voltage or resistance?
Voltage will be constant. Resistance is dependent on the components in the circuit. Source: Electronics Technician for the US Govt
