Electric Circuits
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
Flip one switch and a whole room of lights comes on, yet unplug one fairy light and the rest stay glowing. The difference is whether the components are wired in series, one after another, or in parallel, side by side. How you connect components decides the current through each, the voltage across each, and the total resistance of the circuit.
In this lesson you will read and draw circuit diagrams, use the rule that current is the same everywhere in a series circuit, add e.m.f.s and resistances in series, use the junction rule for currents in parallel, find the combined resistance of resistors in parallel, and explain why lights at home are wired in parallel. Every calculation shows the equation, the substitution and the answer with units.

- Draw and interpret circuit diagrams containing cells, batteries, power supplies, generators, potential dividers, switches, resistors (fixed and variable), heaters, thermistors (NTC only), light- dependent resistors (LDRs), lamps, motors, bells, ammeters, voltmeters, magnetising coils, transformers, fuses and relays and know how these components behave in the circuit
- Know that the current at every point in a series circuit is the same
- Know how to construct and use series and parallel circuits
- Calculate the combined e.m.f. of several sources in series
- Calculate the combined resistance of two or more resistors in series
- State that, for a parallel circuit, the current from the source is larger than the current in each branch
- State that the combined resistance of two resistors in parallel is less than that of either resistor by itself
- State the advantages of connecting lamps in parallel in a lighting circuit
- [Supplement] Draw and interpret circuit diagrams containing diodes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and know how these components behave in the circuit
- [Supplement] Recall and use in calculations, the fact that: (a) t he sum of the currents entering a junction in a parallel circuit is equal to the sum of the currents that leave the junction (b) t he total p.d. across the components in a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual p.d.s across each component (c) t he p.d. across an arrangement of parallel resistances is the same as the p.d. across one branch in the arrangement of the parallel resistances
- [Supplement] Explain that the sum of the currents into a junction is the same as the sum of the currents out of the junction
- [Supplement] Calculate the combined resistance of two resistors in parallel
