CHAPTER 5 : MORE ABOUT ELECTRICITY

HOW CAN WE
DRAW ELECTRIC
CIRCUITS?
ELEMENTARY 6
A simple series electrical circuit is a circuit for electricity to flow around as shown in the diagram. It's
simple because the circuit is a single wire running from a battery to a bulb and back again.

The diagram shows a battery (cell) with wires connecting it to the bulb.
Look at the picture

DOES IT TAKE A LONG TIME TO DRAW THE DIAGRAM?


A circuit always has a When drawing circuit
battery (cell) but it can also diagrams, rather than drawing
contain other electrical detailed components, we use
components, such as bulbs, simple symbols to represent
buzzers and motors. the different components.

What are the advantages of using symbols in drawing circuits?

1) It saves time.
2) It is a good way of showing someone how a circuit should be connected
up.
