Drawing Circuits When designing circuits it is not practical to draw physical likenesses of the components you wish to use. In place of each component a symbol is use to represent it. For example:

Measuring Electricity The best and cheapest way to measure electrical properties is with a multimeter. If you are planning on playing with electronics it is the first thing you should buy as you will

Electric Current Electrons, while they can flow, do not flow through all materials equally and in some materials not at all. When electrons can move through a material it is said to be a conductor an

Wire Wire and cable are used to carry electrical current from one place to another. While many materials can conduct electricity, in wire we only want to move current, so we need a material with high

Resistors Resistors limit or reduce the current passed across them. They do this by by having different densities of different materials within them, the most common of which is carbon. Make
