What is an
electrical circuit? An electrical circuit is like a central heating system in a house. ļ¬There is a pump that pushes water around the system. ļ¬The water everywhere starts to move at the same time. ļ¬There are pipes that carry the water. ļ¬In the pipes the water is flowing. 1 of 41 20 3 low pressure boiler and pump high pressure radiator radiator flow of water Ā© Boardworks Ltd 2004 2005
4.
What is an
electrical circuit? The bulb in the circuit is like a radiator. An electrical device uses electrical energy supplied by the circuit. Instead of a flow of water, electricity flows in an electrical circuit. The wires are like pipes; they carry the flow of electricity (called current) around the circuit. The electrical current is pushed by the cell (or battery), which has the same function as the pump and boiler. The strength of push provided by the battery is called its voltage. 1 of 41 20 4 Ā© Boardworks Ltd 2004 2005

What is a
series circuit? This is a simple series circuit. In a simple series circuit, everything is connected in one loop across the terminals of the battery. So there arenāt any points where the current can split or join (these are called junctions). This circuit has two lamps connected in series. Circuits are always drawn using straight lines. 1 of 41 20 7 Ā© Boardworks Ltd 2004 2005
8.
Examples of series
circuits Here are some other simple series circuits: 1. Two resistances (resistors) connected in series: R1 R2 2. A rheostat (or variable resistor) and a bulb connected in series: 1 of 41 20 8 Ā© Boardworks Ltd 2004 2005
9.
Measuring current The unit
of measure for current is the amp, which has the symbol A. Current is measured using a device called an ammeter. In a circuit diagram, an ammeter is shown by the symbol A . When measuring the current through a component, the ammeter is always connected in series (in the same loop) with that component. A 1 of 41 20 9 Ā© Boardworks Ltd 2004 2005

Measuring voltage Voltage is
measured using a device called a voltmeter. In a circuit diagram, a voltmeter is given the symbol V . When measuring the voltage across a component, the voltmeter is always connected in parallel with (or across) the component. V1 This is still a series circuit. V2 V3 The voltage supplied by the battery is shared between all the components in a series circuit. 1 of 20 14 of 41 Ā© Boardworks Ltd 2004 2005
15.
Measuring voltage across
a resistance or a bulb Voltage is measured by connecting the voltmeter across (or in parallel with) the component. V Voltage is measured in volts and the symbol for this is V. A Components component here R V 1 of 20 15 of 41 Ā© Boardworks Ltd 2004 2005

Series circuits ā
key ideas 1. In a series circuit the current is the same in all parts of the circuit. 2. The supply voltage is shared between the components in a series circuit. (The sum of the voltage across each component is the same as the total supply voltage.) 3. The current depends on the voltage in any circuit. 1 of 20 24 of 41 Ā© Boardworks Ltd 2004 2005

What is a
parallel circuit? A parallel circuit is one which contains a point (a junction) where the current can split (point A) or join (point B). This means that there is more than one path around the circuit. A 1 of 20 27 of 41 B Ā© Boardworks Ltd 2004 2005

Current in a
parallel circuit For a parallel circuit, the current that leaves the cell is the same as the current that returns to the cell. A1 A2 A4 A1 = A4 A3 The current does not get used up by the circuit, just the energy that the electrons are carrying. 1 of 20 29 of 41 Ā© Boardworks Ltd 2004 2005

Current in a
parallel circuit The current splits up at the first junction and then joins together at the second junction. A1 A2 A3 A4 The following is always true for this type of parallel circuit: A1 = (A2 + A3) = A4 If the bulbs are identical then the current will split evenly. If the bulbs are not identical, then the current will not split evenly. 1 of 20 30 of 41 Ā© Boardworks Ltd 2004 2005

Energy transfer in
circuits Energy cannot be created or destroyed. In all devices and machines, including electric circuits, energy is transferred from one type to another. When this circuit is connected, chemical energy stored in the battery is transferred via electrical energy to heat and light energy in the bulbs. The total amount of heat and light energy is the same as the amount of chemical energy lost from the battery. 1 of 20 34 of 41 Ā© Boardworks Ltd 2004 2005
