Is the current the same everywhere in the parallel circuit?
No. The current in a series circuit is the same everywhere. The voltage across a parallel circuit is the same.
Why doesn't current decrease in series resistance circuit though resistance opposes current?
If you add another resistor or just increase the resistance the current will decrease. I think the statement you are talking about means that whatever the current is in the series circuit it will be the same everywhere in that circuit, on both sides of the resistance. The resistance lowers the current in the entire circuit, not just after the resistance.
What in a series circuit is constant?
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.
The current in a what circuit is the same at every point?
A series circuit has the same amount of current at all points in the circuit.CommentIt's not simply 'the same amount of current at all points''; it's the same current at all points.
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.
What is the current of a series-parallel circuit connection?
The current flowing through a series circuit is (voltage between the circuit's ends) / (sum of all resistances in 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.
Why does not it matter where you measure the current in a simple circuit?
The current measured at any point in a simple circuit will be the same because current is the measure of electron flow through a circuit. The current flowing through any branch of any circuit (or an entire simple circuit) will always be the same at any point.
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.
In a series circuit what is the same at every point?
Current. There is only one path that current can take through the circuit, so the current must be the same at every point.
In a series circuit which quantity remains same throughout the circuit?
Current flow remains the same throughout the circuit.
