Calculate Current In A Series Circuit. In a series circuit the current is the same through all of the components in the circuit whereas in a parallel circuit the total current is only equal to the individual current in that branch of the circuit. Once you have worked out the total resistance and voltage use ohm s law to calculate the total current in the circuit.
Once you have worked out the total resistance and voltage use ohm s law to calculate the total current in the circuit. Voltage current x resistance v i x r. In a series circuit the current is the same everywhere.

You will notice from the diagram that 1 amp continually flows through the circuit. Voltage current x resistance v i x r. In a series circuit the current is the same everywhere. In a series circuit the current is the same through all of the components in the circuit whereas in a parallel circuit the total current is only equal to the individual current in that branch of the circuit.
