Answer:

How will you infer with the help of an experiment that the same current flows through every part of the circuit containing three resistors R1 ,R2 and R3 in series connected to a battery of V volt.

we can connect voltmeter across each resistor

V = V1 + V2 + V3

I1 = current across resistor R1

I1 = V1/R1

similarly

I2 = current across resistor R2

I2= V2/R2

I3 = current across resistor R3

I3 = V3/R3

we will see that

I1 = I2 = I3

also it will be equal to V/(R1 + R2+R3)
