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 amps when you increase the resistance of a circuit?
If you don't change the voltage between the ends of the circuit,then higher resistance in the circuit means lower current (amps).
What is the units for the short circuit current?
Amps
What is phase diagram in series LCR circuit?

Does a flashlight use parallel circuit or series circuit?
Well it can depend on how many bulbs it has etc, but generally it would be a series circuit.
Are the amps in a series circuit the same all the way around?
Yes, the current is the same at every point in a series circuit.
How do you measur ampere?
You use an "amp gauge" to measure amps in an actual circuit. It is hooked in series with the load. It can be placed anywhere in the circuit as long as it is hooked in series. Mathematically, you have to know the resistance, or wattage and voltage of a circuit. Volts=amps*resistance or amps=volts/resistance, or resistance=volts/amps. Ohms law!
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.

How many amps equal 1 circuit?
80% of the rated circuit. 10 amp circuit is 8 amps, 20 amp circuit is 16 amps, etc.
What happens to the energy as it goes around a series circuit?
What do you mean by energy? amps? Volts?, Either way if you have a series circuit with 3 loads in the circuit all voltage will be dropped proportionally to the loads resistance, if that makes any sense.
How is a amp meter connected to measure dc amps?
An Ammeter is connected in series with the circuit that you want to make the measurement on.
What happens to the power output of each lamp if more lamps are connected in parallel?
The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
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 meaured in amps?
The electrical current in a circuit is measured in amps.
What is the value of R (ohms) in a series circuit if E 50 volts and I 10 amps?
e/i=r 50/10 5
What is the value of R ohms in a series circuit if E 50 volts and you 10 amps?
e/i=r 50/10 5
