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 .

How can an ammeter be connected in a circuit and not effect the flow of current?
The ammeter does affect the flow of current in a circuit, however, the resistance of the ammeter is so small in comparison to the circuit that the effect is negligible. It is connected in series.
A circuit that has only one path for the current is called?
Series, because everything in the circuit is in series.
What is your observation of the current in series circuit?
The current in a series circuit will be directly proportional to the voltage applied to the circuit, and inversely proportional to the resistance in it. Additionally, there will be one and only one path for that current, as it is a series circuit. All the current in the circuit will have to pass through each each element of the circuit. The current will all flow in one direction in a DC circuit; current is unidirectional. And will flow "back and forth" in an AC circuit, or will alternate directions, as one might expect.
What does a load do to the flow of electrical current in a series circuit?
A load increases the flow of electrical current in a series circuit. No load, no flow.
What is used to measure the current in a circuit and how is it connected?
To measure the current in the circuit an ammeter is used and it is connected in series
Do additional resistors affect current in a series circuit?
Yes, additional resistors affect current in a series circuit by increasing the total resistance, which decreases the total current.
How does removing bulb or opening and closing the switch affect a series circuit?
Removing a bulb - or opening the switch - breaks the flow of current in a series circuit.
How can a broken wire affect a series circuit differently than a parallel circuit?
In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit. Any break will totally remove power from all of the circuit.Parallel circuits have more than one branch where the current can flow. A broken wire will only affect one part, the rest of the circuit will still pass current.In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit. Any break will totally remove power from all of the circuit.Parallel circuits have more than one branch where the current can flow. A broken wire will only affect one part, the rest of the circuit will still pass current.
In a circuit the current is the same everywhere?
By Kirchoff's current law, a series circuit has the same current everywhere.
How can an ammeter be connected in a circuit and not effect the flow of current?
The ammeter does affect the flow of current in a circuit, however, the resistance of the ammeter is so small in comparison to the circuit that the effect is negligible. It is connected in series.
What is the formula for total current in a series circuit?
Current = (Voltage across the circuit) divided by (Total resistance of the circuit). The current is the same at every point in the series circuit.
In series circuit why current drop beceause according to kichroff law cuurent remain same in series circuit?
In a series circuit current does stay the same thoughout the circuit, voltage drops in the series circuit.
What happens to current in a series circuit?
the current in series will be same..
What is special about electric current in a series circuit?
In a series circuit the current remains the same throughout the circuit. This is not the case for parallel circuits.
A circuit that has only one path for the current is called?
Series, because everything in the circuit is in series.
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.
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.
