draw circuit diagrams with power sources (cell or battery), switches, lamps, resistors (fixed and variable), fuses, ammeters and voltmeters
state that the current at every point in a series circuit is the same and apply the principle to new situations or to solve related problems
state that the sum of the potential differences in a series circuit is equal to the potential difference across the whole circuit and apply the principle to new situations or to solve related problems
state that the current from the source is the sum of the currents in the separate branches of aparallel circuit and apply the principle to new situations or to solve related problems
state that the potential difference across the separate branches of a parallel circuit is the same and apply the principle to new situations or to solve related problems
recall and apply the relevant relationships, including R = V/I and those for current, potential differences and resistors in series and in parallel circuits, in calculations involving a whole circuit
