Electricity Lesson 8

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

Reading quiz p. 112-118

Engage

Symbols are used to create schematic drawing of circuits. Kirchoff developed two laws to describe how current and voltage behaves in a circuit.
