  12.1 Circuit diagrams12.1Circuit diagrams 1. Draw and interpret circuit diagrams containing sources, switches, resistors (fixed and variable), lamps, ammeters voltmeters, and fuses.
• 3.
  12.2 Series &parallel circuits12.2 Series & parallel circuits 1. Demonstrate understanding that the current at every point in a series circuit is the same. 2. Recall and use the fact that the sum of the p.d.s across the components in a series circuit is equal to the total p.d. across the supply. 3. Calculate the combined resistance of two or more resistors in series.
• 4.
  13.2 Series &parallel circuits13.2 Series & parallel circuits 4. State that, for a parallel circuit, the current from the source is larger than the current in each branch. 5. Recall and use the fact that the current from the source is the sum of the currents in the separate branches of a parallel circuit. 6. State that the combined resistance of two resistors in parallel is less than that of either resistor by itself.
