The CELL
The cell stores chemical energy and transfers it to
electrical energy when a circuit is connected.
When two or more cells are
connected together we call this
a Battery.
The cells chemical energy is
used up pushing a current round
a circuit.

What is an electric current?
An electric current is a flow of microscopic particles
called electrons flowing through wires and
components.
+-
In which direction does the current flow?
from the Negative terminal to the Positive terminal of a cell.

simple circuits
Here is a simple electric circuit. It has a cell, a
lamp and a switch.
To make the circuit, these components are connected
together with metal connecting wires.

simple circuitsWhen the switch is closed, the lamp lights up. This is
because there is a continuous path of metal for the
electric current to flow around.
If there were any breaks in the circuit, the current could not flow.

types of circuit
There are two types of electrical circuits;
SERIES CIRCUITS PARALLEL CIRCUITS
![Page 9: ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS · 2018-03-31 · More free powerpoints at . The CELL The cell stores chemical energyand transfers it to electrical energy when a circuit is connected. When two](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040402/5e7d93fb28f8280cd266c827/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The components are connected end-to-end, one after the other.
They make a simple loop for the current to flow round.
SERIES CIRCUITS
If one bulb ‘blows’ it breaks the whole circuit and all the bulbs go out.

PARALLEL CIRCUITS
The current has a choice of routes.
The components are connected side by side.
If one bulb ‘blows’ there is still be a complete circuit to the other bulb so it stays alight.

measuring current
Electric current is measured in amps (A) using
an ammeter connected in series in the circuit.

measuring voltage
The ‘electrical push’ which the cell gives to the current
is called the voltage. It is measured in volts (V) on a
voltmeter
V

Different cells produce different voltages. The
bigger the voltage supplied by the cell, the bigger the
current.
measuring voltage
Unlike an ammeter a voltmeter is connected across
the components
Scientist usually use the term Potential Difference
(pd) when they talk about voltage.
