Learning About
How can circuits be turned into circuit diagrams?

Keywords:

Current: (2)
Battery: (2)
Ammeter (2)
Charge: (2)
Ammeter: An instrument used to measure current. (1)
Current: The flow of charge in a circuit. (1)
Potential difference: The potential difference between two points in an electric circuit is the work done when a coulomb of charge passes between the points. (1)
Charge: Electrical charge is measured in coulomb, C. The amount of electrical charge that moves in a circuit depends on the current flow and how long it flows for. (1)

	Students should be able to draw an appropriate circuit diagram using correct circuit symbols.		How could you draw a circuit diagram to include the following components; bulb, cell, ammeter and an LDR? Practice questions involving rearranging for a Extension:Draw Parallel circuits.
	Charge flow, current and time are linked by the equation: charge flow = current ? time		How are flow of charge, current and time linked by an equation? Practice questions involving rearranging for a stretch.
	A current has the same value at any point in a single closed loop.		In a single closed loop what would the value of current be? Practical: Create series and parallel circuits and test how voltage and current changes at different points of the circuit.
