Why is the Current in Resistors in Series the Same?
Current in Series Circuits
In this lesson, we delve into the intriguing question of why current remains uniform across resistors in a series circuit, even when they have different resistances.
Key Highlights:
- Understanding Series Circuits: Explore how current flows uniformly through each component in a series circuit, regardless of individual resistances.
- Ohm's Law in Action: Learn how voltage, current, and resistance interact, and why higher resistance leads to a greater voltage drop without affecting the current.
- Electric Field and Drift Velocity: Discover how a stronger electric field in higher resistance resistors ensures that charge carriers maintain consistent drift velocity, keeping the current steady.
