OUTCOME
By the end of the lesson you will be able to recognise circuit symbols and apply circuit rules (known as Kirchoff's current and voltage laws) to a circuit
Engage
Symbols are used to create schematic drawing of circuits. Kirchoff developed two laws to describe how current and voltage behaves in a circuit.
