GCSE PHYSICS- ELECTRISITY

Series
1. Current is the same across all of the components
2. Voltage is shared across all of the components
Parallel
1. Current is shared between all of the components
2. Voltage is the same across all of the components
Measuring Voltage and current
1. Measuring Voltage
  1. A voltmeter is used to measure Voltage
    1. A voltmeter has to be set up in parallel to measure the Potential difference of a bulb
2. Measuring Current
  1. A ammeter is used to measure current
    1. An ammeter has to be connected in series to measure the Amps of a bulb or other electrical components
Components
1. Bulb (lamp)
2. Diode
3. Ammeter
4. Resistor
5. LED (Light emitting diode)
6. Voltmeter
7. Cell
8. Battery
9. Variable resistor
10. Switch
11. Fuze
