How will you infer with the help of an experiment that the same current flows through every part of the circuit containing three resistances in series connected to a battery?
In a series circuit, the electrical components are connected in a , one after the other. The electric charge in a series circuit can only flow in .
If the circuit is broken or disturbed at any point in the loop, the through the circuit, and hence electric appliances linked to it .
1. Let the resistances of three resistors be \(R_1\), \(R_2\) and \(R_3\), be connected in along with a battery, a plug key and an .
2. Let '\(I\)' be the current flowing through the circuit.
3. Connect the in between the resistors \(R_1\) and \(R_2\) and note the reading of ammeter.
4. Now connect the in between the resistors \(R_2\) and \(R_3\).
5. Again note the current value.
It is deduced that the current '\(I\)' remains throughout the series circuit. In other words, the current in every point or junction of the circuit is the .
