 SERIES CIRCUITS - CURRENT

Since there is only one path for current in a series circuit, the same current must flow through each component of the circuit.

To determine the current in a series circuit, only the current through one of the components need be known.

The fact that the same current flows through each component of a series circuit can be verified by inserting meters into the circuit at various points, as shown here.

If this were done, each meter would be found to indicate the same value of current, which in this case is two amps (2A).
