  1. ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
  2. The CELL The cell stores chemical energy and transfers it to electrical energy when a circuit is connected. When two or more cells are connected together we call this a Battery. The cells chemical energy is used up pushing a current round a circuit.
  3. What is an electric current? An electric current is a flow of microscopic particles called electrons flowing through wires and components. In which direction does the current flow? from the Negative terminal to the Positive terminal of a
  4. simple circuits Here is a simple electric circuit. It has a cell, a lamp and a switch. cell switch lamp To make the circuit, these components are connected together with metal connecting wires.
  5. simple circuits When the switch is closed, the lamp lights up. This is because there is a continuous path of metal for the electric current to flow around. If there were any breaks in the circuit, the current could not flow.
  6. circuit diagram Scientists usually draw electric circuits using symbols; Il lamp switch wires
  7. circuit diagrams In circuit diagrams components are represented by the following symbols; ammeter battery voltmeter switch motor lamp resistor buzzer variable resistor
  8. types of circuit There are two types of electrical circuits; SERIES CIRCUITS PARALLEL CIRCUITS
  9. SERIES CIRCUITS The components are connected end-to-end, one after the other. They make a simple loop for the current to flow round. If one bulb blows' it breaks the whole circuit and all the bulbs go out.
  10. PARALLEL CIRCUITS The components are connected side by side. The current has a choice of routes. If one bulb blows' there is still be a complete circuit to the other bulb so it stays alight.
  11. measuring current Electric current is measured in amps (A) using an ammeter connected in series in the circuit. OCA looao
  12. measuring current This is how we draw an ammeter in a circuit. SERIES CIRCUIT PARALLEL CIRCUIT
  13. measuring current SERIES CIRCUIT current is the same at all points in the circuit. PARALLEL CIRCUIT current is shared between the components 0
  14. copy the following circuits and fill in the missing ammeter readings.
  15. measuring voltage The 'electrical push' which the cell gives to the current is called the voltage. It is measured in volts (V) on a voltmeter
  16. measuring voltage Different cells produce different voltages. The bigger the voltage supplied by the cell, the bigger the current. Unlike an ammeter a voltmeter is connected across the components Scientist usually use the term Potential Difference (pd) when they talk about voltage.
  17. measuring voltage This is how we draw a voltmeter in a circuit. SERIES CIRCUIT Il PARALLEL CIRCUIT
  18. measuring voltage
  19. series circuit voltage is shared between the components 10
  20. parallel circuit voltage is the same in all parts of the circuit.
  21. measuring current & voltage copy the following circuits on the next two slides. complete the missing current and voltage readings. remember the rules for current and voltage in series and parallel circuits.
  22. measuring current & voltage
  23. measuring current & voltage
