Yes. The current is inversely proportional to the resistance.

I = V / R where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance. Adding light bulbs adds resistance.

Current is constant throughout a series circuit; it doesn't change no matter what. Voltage changes.

What happens if the track of the current is broken in a series circuit?

If the track of the current is broken in a series circuit, the circuit will be interrupted and no current will flow. The components in the circuit will not receive any power and will not function until the circuit is repaired.


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 are the 2 rules for the voltage and current in a series circuit?

In a series circuit, the current remains constant throughout the circuit. The voltage across each component in a series circuit adds up to the total voltage of the circuit.


What causes an increase of resistance in a series circuit?

An increase in resistance in a series circuit can be caused by adding resistors in series, increasing the length or cross-sectional area of the wire, or using a material with higher resistivity. This leads to a higher total resistance in the circuit, which can reduce the current flowing through it.


In a series circuit what happens to the current if you increase the number of components in the circuit?

The current (amps) will remain constant, but the voltage will drop.

What will adding resistance to series circuit cause?

A decrease in current.


What is the affect of a series circuit on current?

by adding the the resistances in series the total resistance of the circuit increses and thus the crunt flowing in the circuit decrese. Ans 2 . the current in series circuit of constant resistance will always be the same . It will not effect the current .


What is the effect of the increasing the number of resistor in series?

A: In a series circuit the currant is the same for all components but the IR drop will change foe each. By adding Resistance the current will decrease accordingly


How do you convert voltage series into current series?

well current in a series circuit wont change so a voltage series is also a current series probablyAnswerYour question makes little sense. Applying a voltage across a series circuit results in current through that circuit, so what exactly are you asking?


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.


What in a series circuit is constant?

Nothing about a series circuit is necessarily constant. 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.


How can in series connection current remain constant while the voltage change while by ohm's law voltage is directly proportional to current?

If the voltage between the ends of a series circuit changes, the current in thecircuit definitely does not remain constant. The current does change by the samefactor as the voltage.The current at every point in the series circuit is the same current.


Does current change in a circuit having bulb in series with a resistance?

Absolutely the more Resistance is put in series the less current Will flow.


When adding more component's why does it reduce the current in a series circuit but that this does not happen in a parallel circuit?

In a series circuit, adding more components increases the total resistance, which reduces the overall current according to Ohm's Law (I = V/R). This is because the same current flows through each component, and additional resistance limits the flow. In contrast, in a parallel circuit, each component provides an alternative path for current, so adding more components decreases the total resistance, allowing more current to flow through the circuit. Thus, while series circuits see a reduction in current with added components, parallel circuits experience an increase.


What happens to the overall current of the circuit if the number of receivers?

If the number of receivers in a circuit increases, the overall current can be affected depending on how the receivers are arranged. In a parallel circuit, adding more receivers generally decreases the total resistance, which can increase the overall current if the voltage remains constant. In a series circuit, adding more receivers increases the total resistance, leading to a decrease in overall current. Therefore, the effect on current depends on whether the receivers are connected in series or parallel.


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 each device that is added to the circuit decreases the what?

Depends on the device. If it is a resistor and you have a fixed voltage then the circuit will obey Ohms law. Voltage = Current x Resistance. So if R increases by adding more resistors in series and the voltage is constant, the current will decrease.
