Physics 1.1- Electrical Circuits

Flowchart nodes

• Common Circuit Symbols

• Unit 1.1- Electric Circuits

• Circuit Symbols (binary/octet-stream)

• Curent

• The current flowing through electrical components in a circuit is measured in amperes (amps), A, using an ammeter connected in series with the components

• For components connected in series, the current is the same at any point in the circuit. This means all components in a series circuit have the same current flowing through them

• Series Cicuit (binary/octet-stream)

• Parallel circuits are when components are connected in parallel, the current splits when it reaches a junction in the circuit.

• No current is lost at the junction, so the total current into the junction equals the total number out of the junction.

• Parallel (binary/octet-stream)

• Parallel
