Why in series connection current remains same and potential changes? Explain it practically |
| Answer» \xa0\xa0Current and Resistance in series connection of resistors\tSeries connection is a combnation of resistors connected end to end.\tIt forms a linear connection arrangement of all the resistors connected in series.\tSo\xa0the amount of current flowing through each resistor is equal to the amount of current flowing through the entire circuit.\tThus,\xa0in series connection the current remains same across the resistors.\tThe equivalent resistance of such resistors is given by the sum of resistances of all the resistors connected in series.\tMathematically,\xa0\tThis explains that the resistance of the entire circuit of resistors connected in series will be more than the resistance of the individual resistors.\tResistance is the actual resistance to the flow of current through the circuit.\tTherefore as the equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in series gets added up, the flow of current in a series circuit decreases due to this added resistance. | |
