Best Answer

voltage over resistance/impredance.

V

/

I * R

V= Voltage

I= Current

R= Resistance or Impedance

Cover what you want to know and the way the other two are laid out gives you your equation.

In a circuit the current is the same everywhere?

By Kirchoff's current law, a series circuit has the same current everywhere.


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 special about electric current in a series circuit?

In a series circuit the current remains the same throughout the circuit. This is not the case for parallel circuits.


A circuit that has only one path for the current is called?

Series, because everything in the circuit is in series.


How parallel and series circuit different?

In a series circuit, current has to pass through each part of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, the current has several alternative paths.


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 to the current in the series circuit?

current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit


What does an Ammeter do in a series circuit?

To measure current in 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 .


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.
