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, current will remain the same through all elements, and the voltage drop across elements will vary. So the answer is: it doesn't.
In a series circuit, current has to pass through each part of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, the current has several alternative paths.
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.
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.
In a parallel circuit there are multiple possible pathways for the current to flow.
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.
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.
current in series depends on values of resistors. more resistance less current will flow through and viceversa
-- 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.
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.
-- "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.
By Kirchoff's current law, a series circuit has the same current everywhere.
