T5D13

In which type of circuit is the current always the same through all components?

  • A.Series (correct answer)
  • B.Parallel
  • C.Resonant
  • D.Branch

WhyIn a series circuit, the current is always the same through all components. In a series circuit, all components share a single current path, so the same current flows through every component in turn, answer A. In a parallel circuit (B), current instead divides among branches, and "resonant" (C) and "branch" (D) describe other circuit concepts, not the defining feature of constant current.
