Are resistors in series if there is a current source between them?

[pfk_12]

are to reisistors considered in series if inbetween them is there is a wire supplying a current source not from the battery.


for example if there was a wire giong up from point A to B and in that wire, there was a current source.

A-----^^^(R1)----B----^^^(R2)

No, they would not be in series if I interpret your question right. Remember that the definition of resistors in series is that they all share the same current.

Yes, the resistors would still be considered in series even with a current source between them. This is because the current source does not change the fact that the resistors are connected one after the other in a single path. The current from the source would flow through R1, then through R2, and then continue on to point C. The current source may affect the overall circuit behavior, but it does not change the fact that the resistors are in series.
