4. Lamp / bulb

5. Voltmeter

6. Ammeter

7. Resistor

Series circuits
8. What type of circuit is shown below?

Series

9. What happens to the brightness of the lamps


They get less bright/ they get
when you add more lamps in the series
dimmer
circuit?
Year 7 Electricity fact sheet
Parallel circuits

10.What type of circuit is shown below?

Parallel

11.How is a parallel circuit different to a series


A parallel circuit has branches in it
circuit?
12.What happens to the brightness of the lamps
when you add more lamps into a parallel They stay the same brightness
circuit?
Current in circuits
13.What do we call the flow of electrical charge Current
in a wire?
14.State the units for current A (amps)

15.What do we use to measure current? Ammeter


16.Which number shows the correct place to
put an ammeter into the circuit?
Year 7 Electricity fact sheet
17.In a series circuit, the current is __________
through each component the same

18.In a parallel circuit, the current is


__________ between the components shared

Voltage in circuits
19.State the units for voltage V (volts)
20.What do we use to measure voltage? Voltmeter
21.Which number shows the correct place to
put a voltmeter into the circuit?

22.In a series circuit, the voltage is __________


between the components shared

23.In a parallel circuit, the voltage is __________


across each component the same
Year 7 Electricity fact sheet
Resistors
24.What does a resistor do the the current in a
Makes it less/ reduces it
circuit?
25.How do you calculate resistance, when you
Resistance = voltage ÷ current
know the voltage and current?

26.State the units for resistance Ω (ohms)

Resistance = voltage ÷ current

= 12 ÷ 3
27.In a circuit, the voltage is 12V and the current
is 3A. Calcualte the resistance.
=4Ω

Resistance = voltage ÷ current

= 63 ÷ 9
28.In a circuit, the voltage is 63V and the current
is 9A. Calcualte the resistance.
=7Ω
