In a series circuit when adding light bulbs does the current change?

Yes. The current is inversely proportional to the resistance.
I = V / R where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance. Adding light bulbs adds resistance.
Current is constant throughout a series circuit; it doesn't change no matter what. Voltage changes.

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.
What happens if the track of the current is broken in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, if the current is broken the flow of all electricity stops.
In a series circuit what happens to the current if you increase the number of components in the circuit?
The current (amps) will remain constant, but the voltage will drop.
In a series circuit if 1 bulb goes out the circuit is considered open or closed?
If one bulb in a series circuit goes out, then current can't flow anywherein the circuit. A circuit in which current can't flow is an open circuit.
The parts of a series circuit are wired one after another so the amount of curren is the?
There is no current at all in the series circuit until the last component is in place, and the order in which they're arranged in the series circuit has no effect on the magnitude of current.
What will adding resistance to series circuit cause?
A decrease in current.
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 the effect of the increasing the number of resistor in series?
A: In a series circuit the currant is the same for all components but the IR drop will change foe each. By adding Resistance the current will decrease accordingly
How do you convert voltage series into current series?
well current in a series circuit wont change so a voltage series is also a current series probablyAnswerYour question makes little sense. Applying a voltage across a series circuit results in current through that circuit, so what exactly are you asking?
How is the current affected in a series circuit?
A: In series circuit the current remains the same no matter how many components are in series. just the voltage will change to reflect different voltage drops for each.
What in a series circuit is constant?
Nothing 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.
How can in series connection current remain constant while the voltage change while by ohm's law voltage is directly proportional to current?
If the voltage between the ends of a series circuit changes, the current in thecircuit definitely does not remain constant. The current does change by the samefactor as the voltage.The current at every point in the series circuit is the same current.
Does current change in a circuit having bulb in series with a resistance?
Absolutely the more Resistance is put in series the less current Will flow.
In a circuit the current is the same everywhere?
By Kirchoff's current law, a series circuit has the same current everywhere.
In a series circuit each device that is added to the circuit decreases the what?
Depends on the device. If it is a resistor and you have a fixed voltage then the circuit will obey Ohms law. Voltage = Current x Resistance. So if R increases by adding more resistors in series and the voltage is constant, the current will decrease.
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.
