In a circuit ...

Question

In a circuit same current is obtained when we place and metre at any place in circuit if there are three resistors in series and we place ammeter between two resistors then also current will be same?

Solution

Dear Student

An ammeter measures current in a circuit, which is supposed to be connected in series.

Hence, the reading of ammeter is same when it is connected in any part of the circuit as long as it is connected in series.
