Why is the current the same in all locations in series circuit?

Because the current is a flow of electrons, and those aren't created or destroyed.
The number of electrons that start out from one battery terminal is the same
number of electrons that eventually return to the battery's other terminal, after
the current has been all around the circuit. They're not necessarily the same
electrons, but the number of them is the same at both ends of the circuit, after
none have been lost and no extra ones have jumped aboard along the way.

∙ 7y agoIt is difficult to state accurately, the question "why" in this type of answers format. You need to look up Kirchoff's Laws to get a complete comprehension of why parallel and series electrical circuits act as they do. There are many sites that give excellent answers to why, about current flows in electrical parallel and series circuits.

is the same at every point in the circuit

∙ 12y agobecause the path for current flow is in series i.e only one path... so the current will be same

What happens to current in a series circuit?
the current in series will be same..
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.
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.
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 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 circuit the current is the same everywhere?
By Kirchoff's current law, a series circuit has the same current everywhere.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
What happens to the current in the series circuit?
current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit
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.
What do you find out about the current at different places in the series circuit?
The current at different places in a series circuit is the same. Kirchoff's current law states that the signed sum of the currents entering a node is zero. A consequence of this is that the current at every point in a series circuit is the same.
How is current distributed in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, all components gets the same amount of current passing through them.
