The number of electrons coming out of the positive end of the loop must be the same as
the number of electrons going into the negative end. If it isn't, then electrons had to be
created, or destroyed, or were injected, or leaked out, somewhere along the series loop.

∙ 12y agoBecause of Kirchoff's Current Law. KCL states that the signed sum of the currents entering a node is zero. A consequence of that is that the sum of the inbound currents to a node is the same as the sum of the outbound currents in a node. In a series circuit, each node only has one inbound source and one outbound destination. As a result, the current at every point in a series circuit is the same.

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.

∙ 11y agoBecause Current is flow of electrons, this means that it cannot suddenly disappear as this is effectively like the electrons suddenly vanishing!!! but in a parallel circuit the flow is split this means that the current drops in them!
Hope that helps!

∙ 13y agoKirchhof's Current Law! The current (the flow of electrons) can't just disappear, or appear out of nowhere. If circuit elements "A" and "B" are in series, and some electrons flow through element "A", then they have to continue flowing through "B" if that is the only available route.

pathway for current to flow in a series circuit. So current remains same.

What is a rule for current flowing round a circuit?
In a series circuit, the current at every point in the circuit is the same. This is a consequence of Kirchoff's Current Law, which states that the signed sum of the currents entering a node must equal zero. Since a series circuit consists of nodes with only two elements connected to each node, it follows that the current at every point in a series circuit is the same.
What is a seiries circuit?
Series CircuitWe say Resistances are in series if the same current flows through all Resistances. A circuit containing of only series resistances is called a series circuit. A series circuit is a circuit that has the same intensity of current flow through its elements.
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.
Is the current in a series circuit high all the way round?
That depends on what you call "high".Whether or not you consider it high, the current is the same all the way around a series circuit.
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.
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.
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 happens to the current in the series circuit?
current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit
