Electricity flows in circles called circuits, circuits are usually electrical components connected with a wire.
In a series circuit, there is only 1 path for the electricity to flow, all the components are connected one after another.
This means that if 1 bulb breaks, the other 2 won't light up. |
In a parallel circuit, there is more than 1 path for the current to flow,the current splits evenly when there is an intersection
This means that if 1 bulb breaks, the other 2 will still light up. |
- All lines must be straight
- Lines must touch accurately
- No components are to be drawn on corners
- All corners should have perpendicular angles
The current is the flow of electrons in a circuit, it's measured in amps.
An ammeter is used to measure the amperes. |
The amount of energy the current is carrying is measured in volts.
A voltmeter is used to measure to measure the voltage. |
