Series circuits
For these activities:
- use Challenge to see how much you already know
- use Reinforcement for extra practice.
For more information choose Resources, and look in Electrical principles under Terminology, Circuits and Measurement.
Solving predictable problems
As an electrician, you will need to use electrical laws and mathematical skills to calculate values that should be present at any given point in a series circuit. This is important so that you can select appropriate components and testing equipment to help you diagnose faults.
These activities present questions and problems requiring calculations.
Connection and measurement
Electricians must know the colour codes for resistors, how to connect up series circuits and methods of measuring electrical values.
These activities focus on connecting and testing a series circuit.
