What electrical quantity is the same throughout a series circuit?
In any series circuit, there is one and only one path for current flow. All the current flowing in the circuit will flow through all of the devices in that circuit. A break at any point in the circuit will cause current flow to cease. Lastly, it is current that is the same at any point in the circuit where we'd care to measure it.
Why does not it matter where you measure the current in a simple circuit?
The current measured at any point in a simple circuit will be the same because current is the measure of electron flow through a circuit. The current flowing through any branch of any circuit (or an entire simple circuit) will always be the same at any point.
If there is a break at any point in a series circuit the current will?
not flow
Can you make low currents to travel with out any wire?
Electric charges will flow through all sorts of substances, not just metals. It is also possible for charges to go through empty space, if the voltage is high enough - especially if an electrode is heated. Read about electron tubes. On the other hand, with a phenomenon known as capacitance, a current can flow through empty space, even if no charges flow.
What is the point that is the same distance from any circle?
There is such a point only if all the circles are concentric.
What is an electric current as the rate of flow of charges?
Yes, that's basically what "electrical current" means.

Why under static condition all points in a conductor must be at the same electric potential?
If there is any difference of potential (a voltage), charges will flow, until all differences of potential are evened out. This is similar to water in a bowl having a flat surface: if there is any elevation, water will flow from higher to lower places, until no point is higher than others.
How magnetism is created by moving charges?
The whole point of magnetism IS moving charges. We have permanent magnets, because of the same electron "current" orientation, the same electron spin or any other moving charge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_magnetic_dipole_moment
What happens to a electric current at a switch?
The electric charges flow without any interruption's

Two point charges plus q and -q are held some distance apart what are the points at which the resultant field is parallel to the line joining the two charges?
The system of two point charges plus q and -q constitutes an electric dipole.In the case of an electric dipole ,the resultant field is parallel to the line joining the two charges at 1.any point on the line joining the charges 2.any point on the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the two charges.

How can electricity be used to make a magnet?
Any time there is ANY flow of electric charges (any current), the current will be surrounded by a magnetic field.
If there is a break at any point in a series circuit the current will?
not flow
Which direction does the conventional flow of energy move?
The term "conventional flow" is usually used specifically for electricity, not for any kind of energy. If the current consists of electrons, then, if the electrons move in one direction, the conventional flow (a ficticious flow of positive charge) flows in the opposite direction. If the electric flow consists of positive charges, then the conventional flow and the physical, or real, flow, are in the same direction. An electron current is the most common case, though.
What is the difference between steady flow and unsteady flow?
steady: A steady flow is one in which the conditions (velocity, pressure and cross-section) may differ from point to point but DO NOT change with time. unsteady: If at any point in the fluid, the conditions change with time, the flow is described as unsteady.
