Explanation:
Choose two points which are very close to
each other along the circuit, say P1 and P2 ,
with current flowing from P1 to P2 . Since
charge is conserved, the number of electrons
flowing out of P1 should equal that flowing
into P2 , giving them the same current; expanding this along all points in the circuit,
every point should have the same current
passing through it.
