In a series circuit, the current remains?
Correct answer: A. Same
- A. Same
- B. Different
- C. Sometimes same sometimes different
- D. None of these options is correct
Explanation
Current is the same in each device since there is only a single pathway for the charge to flow. Resistance in the circuit is the sum of all the individual resistances of each device.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
