Nothing about a series circuit is necessarily constant.
You may be thinking of the current, which is the same number at any point in a series circuit.
That doesn't mean that it can't change. But if it does change, it'll change at every point, and
still be the same number everywhere in the series circuit.

Why current in series combination is constant?
Normally, but if the circuit has capacitors this is not necessarily true.Another viewpoint:No. The current doesn't have to be constant in a series circuit, It can grow, shrink,wax, wane, switch on, switch off, or wander randomly about. But whatever it is,it must be the same at all points in the series circuit.
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.
How do you calculate the time constant in a series resistor?
A resistor by itself has no time constant. For a circuit to have a time constant it must contain either capacitors or inductors.
In a series circuit is resistance constant?
current
In a series circuit each device that is added to circuit decreases the?
Ohm's Law answers your question. Voltage = Current x Resistance. In a series circuit you are in effect adding resistance. If the Voltage remains constant then the answer is obvious looking at the equation above.
How do you calculate the time constant for a simple series RL circuit?
The time constant of an RL series circuit is calculated using the formular: time constant=L/R
What are the characteristic of series circuit?
In a series circuit the current remains constant at any point while the voltage drops across each resistive element.
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 .

Do you expect angle in rlc series circuit to be a constant?
The phase shift angle of an RLC circuit is constant for a constant frequency, but changes with different frequencies.The phase angle of the AC in the RLC circuit is however continuously changing. Otherwise it wouldn't be AC.

What are the series circuit rules?
current is constant in the series circuit. The resistances of the components add up and the potential differences is divided propotionally over the components depending on their resistances.

What is the time constant of a 0.001 microfarad capacitor and a 15000 ohm resistor connected in series in a dc circuit?
The same as the time constant of a 2.7 microfarad capacitor and a 33 ohm resistor connected in series.
