Answer
In a series circuit the current **(B) is the same at all points.** Think of a series circuit like a single loop of water flowing through a pipe. The amount of water passing any point in the loop must be the same at any other point.Adding loads in a series circuit is similar to **(D) increasing the length of a wire.** Each load adds resistance, and increasing the length of a wire also increases its resistance. Longer wire means more material for electrons to bump into, hindering their flow, just like adding more loads creates more resistance in the circuit.
