Key Terms What is current, voltage and resistance?
Current – the flow of electrons around the circuitVoltage – driving force which pushes the current aroundResistance – anything in the circuit which slows the flow
down

Task 2: Voltage and current = the electrical energy
Voltage is a measure of the energy carried
voltage Current
Voltage is used up in components
Voltage is measured in volts, V
Voltage is measured with a voltmeter
Current is the rate of flow
Current is not used up, what flows into a component
must flow out.
Current is measured in amps (amperes), A
Current is measured with an ammeter

Series Circuits What are series circuits?
Series circuits are ‘all or nothing’ – the different components are connected in a line, end to end
Disconnecting one component breaks the circuit, meaning all the components stop
+ -A
The same current flows through all parts of the circuit
The size of the current depends on the voltage and resistance (I = V/R)
The total voltage is shared between the components - the bigger the resistance of a component the bigger its share of the voltage

6V
2V
2.5V
1.5V
0.5A
Voltages add to equal the supply: 1.5V + 2V + 2.5V = 6V Total resistance is the resistance of all the components: 3Ω +
4Ω + 5Ω = 12Ω
Current = voltage ÷ resistance: 6 ÷ 12 = 0.5A

Parallel Circuits What are parallel circuits?
In parallel circuits each component is separately connected to the +ve and –ve of the supply
Removing one component barely affects the others
All components get the full voltage The current through each component
depends on its resistance – the lower the resistance the more current that flows through
The total current flowing around the circuit is equal to the total of all the currents in the separate branches
branch 1
branch 2

Voltages are all equal to the supply: 6V Total resistance is less than the smallest resistance: <2Ω
