Question

Assuming that something flows through wires when bulbs are lit in a circuit, is the direction of the flow the same in all the wires, or does it vary in different parts of the circuit?

Answer 1

Assuming that something flows through wires when bulbs are lit in a circuit, the direction of the flow is THE SAME. 

In a simple circuit, the direction of the flow is the same for all wires. This is indicated by the direction of the compass deflection.

Answer 2

Answer:

Same direction

Explanation:

The current is flowing through the wires when bulbs are lit in a circuit.

The current flows through the bulbs when a source of potential difference is connected across the bulbs.

The direction of flow of current through the bulbs is always same. The current flows from the positive terminal of the cell to the negative terminal of the cell in the circuit.

The direction of current is observed the magnetic compass.

Always compass deflects in the same direction as the current flows in the same direction due to which a magnetic field is created and this magnetic field is detected by the magnetic compass.
