SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the behavior of current in resistors connected in series. When resistors are arranged in series, the total equivalent resistance is the sum of individual resistances, leading to the same current flowing through each resistor. This is due to the fundamental principle that current, defined as the flow of charge, remains constant throughout a series circuit. The misconception that resistors generate current is corrected, emphasizing that they resist current flow instead.

'i' due to resistances in series

We know If two or more resistances connected in series with an applied voltage 'V', then the equivalent resistance of the circuit is the sum of all the resistances. This is because all the resistors generates the same current.
==> V=IR1+IR2;

But why all the resistors in series are generating the same current, what is happening in the charge(Q) level. Why not one resistor takes more voltage and generate more current, and the another take low voltage and low current, such that they add upto voltage(V)
==>V=I1R1+I2R2;

Where I1>I and I2<I.

First - resistors do not generate current. That is the wrong word.

Resistors resist current flow - that's why we call them resistors.

But the answer to your question is that the current that flows through the chain of resistors is the same for all of them. Current is the flow of charge - if (say) 100 electrons start at one end then 100 electrons will pass through each resistor in turn until they come out the end.
