Current In A Series Circuit Ks3. Ks3 worksheet looking at how current acts in a series and parallel circuit. Fairy lights are used as an example.
Current electricity current in series and parallel circuits ks3. Some materials have low resistance and are conductors. This action packed distance or home learning package starts with units for current and the positioning of ammeters in series and parallel circuits and explores the value of current in series and parallel circuits with pupils ultimately able to determine current from ammeter readings.
An ammeter measures current and a voltmeter measures a potential difference.
The presenters then show how ammeters can be used to measure current and voltage at different points in the circuit. If you make the cells face in the same direction the more cells you add the greater the current. The ways in which current and voltage are measured are seen. Animations are used to descibe the difference between series and parallel circuits.
