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.
The current is constant throughout a series circuit (and is normally the dependent variable ... dependent on the voltage & resistance of the circuit).
current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit
Uniform. The same no matter where you break the circuit and measure it.
Kirchhoff said so. The paths separate the current when entering the parallel branches according to the resistance of the paths. Then they add back up when the circuits rejoin.
Because the components in a series circuit are connected in a same path so the current remains constant in it......
series circuits have 1 pathway they have constant current(Amperes) not constant voltage. Resistance=R+R+R+...
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.
Kirchoff's voltage law states that the signed sums of the voltage drops in a series circuit add up to zero.Kirchoff's current law states that the current everywhere in a series circuit is the same, more specifically, that the signed sums of the currents entering a node is zero.
The total current decreases.According to the Ohm's law the current & the resistance are inversely proportional so when we put a load in series with the existing load, the resistance of the circuit increases therefor the current decreases.
A circuit with a 2 ohm resistor and a 4 ohm resistor in series with a 12 volt battery will have 2 amps flowing through each resistor. The current is the same in each resistor because they are in series, and a series circuit has constant current throughout.
Since the Emf(voltage) being supplied to circuit is constant then so is the current in series circuit.In parallel circuits the current is then divided depending on the resistors.but for both circuits the sum of the current in= current outAnswerIt's not necessarily 'constant', but it will be the samecurrent.
constant electrical quantity-series connection -current constant electrical quantity-parallel connection - voltage
If the voltage between the ends of a series circuit changes, the current in thecircuit definitely does not remain constant. The current does change by the samefactor as the voltage.The current at every point in the series circuit is the same current.
series circuits have 1 pathway they have constant current(Amperes) not constant voltage. Resistance=R+R+R+...
Current travels in loops. In series you have one loop, or path for current to take. With parallel connections, there's at least two. This is why current divides in parallel and not in series.
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 .
Yes, series and parallel connection of batteries is possible. When connected in series Voltage increases. In parallel, Current increases but voltage is constant.
In a series circuit the current remains constant at any point while the voltage drops across each resistive element.
The resistance remains constant. The voltage would change, in accordance with Ohms' law, with a change in current.
more current will be in case of parallel because in series combination resistence is greater with respect to parallel combination

The 78xx regulater can be used as a constant current source, by connecting the output to the input side of a series resistor, and the "ground" to the other side of the resistor. Do not connect the "ground" to real ground - leave it floating.Since the 78xx maintains a constant voltage differential between output and ground, there would be a constant current through the resistor.
