I believe you are describing a series circuit. One total current flows through each component, and each component has an associated voltage drop. When all the voltage drops are added together, they should equal the source voltage.

Are resistor drops the voltage or current?
Are resistor drops the voltage or current? ANSWER: The voltage DROP is a way to imply that the voltage no matter of the value is what it must be whether it is measured or calculated
Does a resistor drop current or voltage?
A resistor drops both voltage and current, however the term "drop" is generally used to indicate a voltage or current drop across the device, so it is more correctly stated that a resistor drops voltage, by allowing the current in the circuit to decrease.
What does a resistor do in an electric circuit?
Limits current flow and drops voltage.
What does a resistor do in a electrical circuit?
Limits current flow and drops voltage.
If voltage changes in a ac circuit what happens to current?
Voltage attempts to make a current flow, and current will flow if the circuit is complete. It is possible to have voltage without current, but current cannot flow without voltage. The answer is "yes",voltage remains the same as current moves through the circuit.As the voltage remains constant, current increases in the circuit.
In a parallel circuit a parallel branch is usually called which current or resistance or voltage path?
A parallel branch is a current path. In general, current follows paths, voltage drops across components, and resistance is the voltage divided by current of specific circuit elements.
Why is it important to select a high voltage and low current during trnsmission of electricity?
For a given load, the higher the supply voltage, the lower the load current. By using higher transmission voltages, the resulting lower currents ensure (a) minimal voltage drops along the lines, (b) conductors of practical size, and (c) less line losses.
What are the two rules for the voltage and current in a series circuit?
1) At every point in the circuit, the current is the same. 2) The sum of the voltage drops across each component is zero.
Why electric current across a wire drops?
Electric current does not drop. Electric voltage, however, drops across a wire because the wire has non-zero resistance. (Do not confuse electric current with electric voltage - they are not the same.)The reason current does not drop is that, in a series circuit, according to Kirchoff's current law, the current at every point in a series circuit is the same.
In a fixed voltage circuit where the resistance is increased voltage drops?
If the voltage is fixed, the using Ohms law: V=IxR If R increases, then the current will decrease proportionally.
How is the current affected in a series circuit?
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.
When resistors are connected in parallel what are the relationships between the voltage drops across the resistor and currents through the resistors?
A: The relationship is that the current will divide for each paths in a parallel circuit and the voltage drop across each will be the source voltage. In a series circuit the current will remain the same for each component but the voltage will divide to reflect each different component value. And the sum of all of the voltage drops will add to the voltage source.
