Electrical Circuits

What is the main difference between static and current electricity?

• Static = moving / Current = stationary (non-moving)

• Static = powerful / Current = weak

• Static = stationary (non-moving) / Current = moving

• Static = dry / Current = wet

Current Electricity flows on a circuit, tick the key components of an electrical circuit below (more than one).

• Power point

• Conducting path (wire)

• Power supply

• Balloon

• Load (energy transformer)

What is this the symbol of in a circuit diagram?

• Light globe

• Switch

• Voltmeter

• Connecting Wire

What is this symbol for in a circuit diagram?

• Connecting wire

• Ammeter

• Switch

• Light globe

This is the symbol for a switch, this switch is open. What does that mean for the circuit?

• The electricity cannot flow around the circuit

• The electricity is turned on

• Less electricity is moving through the circuit

• The electricity can flow around the circuit

What does this symbol represent in a circuit diagram?

What is the function of a cell?

• Provides energy to the circuit

• Slows down electricity around the circuit

• Transform electricity to light

• Speeds up the flow of electricity

This is the symbol for an Ammeter, what does an Ammeter measure?

• Volts of the circuit

• Electric current

• How bright the light bulb is

• Animosity

Is this switch turned off or on?

• On

• Off

This is the symbol for a resistor, what does a resistor do?

• Resist temptations

• Slow down the flow of electricity

• Speeds up electricity

• Reflects electricity
