In a series circuit, current remains?
Correct answer: A. Same
- A. Same
- B. Different
- C. Sometimes same, sometimes different
- D. None of them
Explanation
In a series circuit, the current only has one path to flow through and so, the current must be the same at all points so, as to follow the law of conservation of charge (Kirchoff's first law).

About Steady Current
Steady current is the continuous flow of charge at a constant rate through a conductor. The topic covers current, charge, potential difference, resistance, Ohm's law, resistivity and electrical power, along with series and parallel circuits, while distinguishing conventional current direction from electron motion.
