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.

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.


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.


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.
