In a series circuit, which quantity remains the same across all components?
A. Power
B. Voltage
C. Current
D. Resistance
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
In series circuits, current is the same through all components because there's only one path for charge flow. Voltage divides across components proportional to resistance (V = IR). Resistance and power vary per component. Memory aid: 'Series: same current; Parallel: same voltage'. This fundamental circuit property is frequently tested in competitive exams to assess basic electronics understanding. Always apply Kirchhoff's current law: current entering a junction equals current leaving; in series, no junctions, so current constant.
