The current at different places in a series circuit is the same. Kirchoff's current law states that the signed sum of the currents entering a node is zero. A consequence of this is that the current at every point in a series circuit is the same.

In a series circuit how does the current differ at different places along that circuit?

In a series circuit, current will remain the same through all elements, and the voltage drop across elements will vary. So the answer is: it doesn't.


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.


What is the difference between parelllel and series circuit?

A parallel circuit has the same voltage but different current in each leg and series circuit has the same current but different voltage on each components unless the same value.


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 is different between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

In a parallel circuit there are multiple possible pathways for the current to flow.


What are differences between series and parallel circuits?

In series circuits current will be the same through out the circuit. So whereever we connect the ammeter the same current is registered. But in parallel circuit current will be different in different lines. In parallel circuits the potential difference will be the same but in series pd will be different.


What happens as a current flows through a parallel circuit?

if the circuit is a series circuit (all loads wired in a single line , one after the other ) then the current will be the same in any part of the circuit . if there are several different paths for the current to take , then each path will carry a different percentage of the total current . when each of these different current values are added together , they will equal the total supplied current.


Does the current remains the same in a series circuit despite the different values if the resistors in the circuit?

current in series depends on values of resistors. more resistance less current will flow through and viceversa


What happen if you change the position of ammeter in the circuit in parallel and series?

-- In a series circuit, no matter where you install the ammeter, it will always read the same current. -- In a parallel circuit, the ammeter may read a different current when it's moved to a different parallel branch.


How is a parallel circuit different from a series circuiti?

Parallel Circuit: * Voltage at Each junction is same * Current through each branch will be different. It depends on the resistance of the components used. Series circuit: * Voltage drop at the ends of different components will be different. * Current through each component will be the same.


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.


In a circuit the current is the same everywhere?

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