Current in Series and Parallel Circuits PowerPoint

This PowerPoint consists of 9 slides.
It begins by reminding students of the symbols used in the the following circuits.
It shows how current flows through series and parallel circuits.
When a switch is closed it shows that the current is the same in a series circuit and is reduced if the resistance is increased. This is illustrated by showing ammeter readings and bulb brightnesses. It explains that current is not ‘used up’ by a resistance.
It shows current splits up in a parallel circuit with most current going through the branch of least resistance.
It also shows how switches can operate different parts of a circuit.
There is then a series of questions to reinforce what has been learned.
The last slide is a summary, giving the rules of how current behaves in series and parallel circuits which have been made clear in the previous slides.
