Current is the same everywhere in a series circuit
In a series circuit, the current is the same everywhere.
It does not matter where you check the current, it is the same in all places.
We are assuming the bulbs and batteries used in the circuits below are all identical.
Different circuits will have different values of current, but within each circuit, the current will be the same everywhere.
