Does more current flow out of a battery than into it? Does more current flow into a lightbulb than out of it? Explain.
To Explain: Whether more current flow out of a battery than into it.
Whether more current flows into a light bulb than out of it.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Current flows when voltage is established across a conductor. Voltage is provided by a battery.
In a circuit, the ends of the wire are connected to positive and negative terminals of battery. The amount of current remains conserved in a circuit which implies that the total current which leaves the positive terminal is equivalent to the total current entering the negative terminal.
It is same for lightbulb as well.
Conclusion:
Same current flows out and into a battery and lightbulb.
