"Series circuit" means one single conducting path between the terminals of the power
source.
The current through the conductor is the physical motion of electrons. Some
number of electrons enters the conductor at one end, some number of electrons
leaves the conductor at the other end, some number of electrons pass some point
along the conductor between the ends, etc.
The only way these numbers could be different would be for someone to punch a little
hole somewhere in the conductor, and either pump more electrons into the hole,
or else let some electrons leak out of the hole as they pass that point. If that's not
happening, and electrons are not being spontaneously created or destroyed in the
conducting material, then the number must be the same everywhere in it.
At a neighborhood park on a Summer day, you'll often see a long plastic tube
stretched out on the ground, with children crawling into one end and out the
other end. If there is no labor and delivery ward inside the tube, and no hidden
hole down into a coal-mine below, then the number of children that enter the
tube must be the same as the number that come out of the other end, and the
same number that pass any point along the length of the tube.

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.
Consider two identical resistors wired in series one behind the other If there is an electric current through the combination the current in the second resistor is?
Two resistors wired in series (no mater if they have the same resistor value or not) will always have the same amount of current flowing through them. Therefore, the current flowing through the second resistor will be equal to the current flowing through the first one. The current through every component in a series circuit is the same. The voltage across every component in a parallel circuit is the same.
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.
Difference between series and parallel circuits?
The answer to this question is that in a parallel circuit there is more that one circuit or form of energy the circuit. In a series circuit there is only one form of energy in that circuit. Hope this helped you and gave you the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 :) if you look at a diagram of a parallel circuit, it looks like a ladder, where as a series circuit diagram looks like a rectangle <><><> "What are the differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?" In a series circuit there is only one path for the electric current to flow. If this path is broken, then the current will no longer flow and all the devices in the circuit will stop working. So if you hook up a bunch of light bulbs together, and one goes out, they all go out, and that can be a problem. In a parallel circuit there is more than one oath for the electric current to pass through. The current continues to flow through the other paths. So if one light bulb goes out of 20 goes out in a parallel circuit, they won't all go out, unlike a series circuit.
The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual parallel sub-circuit.?
True...!
What is the importance of series circuit?
current is flow through the circuit in same manner.
How is current distributed in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, all components gets the same amount of current passing through them.
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.
This circuit is a series circuit because?
the same current flows through both light bulbs
In a circuit the current is the same everywhere?
By Kirchoff's current law, a series circuit has the same current everywhere.
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.
Series circuit is a circuit that has only one path for volage flow?
No, that is a paralel circuit. a series circuit has two paths
A W bulb and a W bulb are connected in series in a circuit Which bulb has the greater current flowing in it?
A series circuit is where there is only one path for the current. As a result, and as a direct consequence of Kirchoff's current law, the current at every point in a series circuit is the same. The two bulbs have the same current flowing through them.
What happens to current in a series circuit?
the current in series will be same..
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.
Does the current remains the same in a series circuit despite the different values if the resistors in the circuit?
current in series depends on values of resistors. more resistance less current will flow through and viceversa
In a series circuit how does the current differ at different places along that circuit?
In a series circuit, current will remain the same through all elements, and the voltage drop across elements will vary. So the answer is: it doesn't.
