The amps (ampiers) decrease when in a series circuit ( with a light bulb)
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.
When you increase the resistance in a circuit, the current (amps) in the circuit will decrease. This is because Ohm's Law states that current is inversely proportional to resistance, so as resistance increases, current decreases.
The main difference between 5 amps and 10 amps is the amount of current flowing through a circuit. 10 amps is double the amount of current compared to 5 amps, which means a 10 amp circuit can handle twice as much power without overloading.
In a series circuit, the voltage is the same across all components connected in a series. This is known as the series circuit voltage.
To determine the current in amps flowing through the circuit, you need to use Ohm's Law, which states that current (I) equals voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). The formula is I V / R. Measure the voltage across the circuit and the total resistance of the circuit, then plug the values into the formula to calculate the current in amps.
Yes, the current is the same at every point in a series circuit.
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!
To accurately measure amps on a 240V circuit using a multimeter, you need to set the multimeter to the current (amps) setting, then connect the multimeter in series with the circuit. Make sure to follow safety precautions and consult the multimeter's manual for specific instructions.
-- "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.
80% of the rated circuit. 10 amp circuit is 8 amps, 20 amp circuit is 16 amps, etc.
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.
An Ammeter is connected in series with the circuit that you want to make the measurement on.

The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
To calculate amps in a circuit, use the formula: Amps Volts / Ohms. This formula helps determine the current flowing through a circuit based on the voltage and resistance present.
The electrical current in a circuit is measured in amps.
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.
