Storyboard Description

Circuit components & Electric circuit symbols activity - Help students remember what each symbol stands for and what it does

Storyboard Text

  • Symbol
  • Use
  • Wire
  • Wires are used to connect different components together. They are made of metal and allow current to flow through them.
  • Battery
  • A battery provides the push to move the charge around the circuit.
  • 
  • Resistor
  • A resistor is a component that reduces the current in a circuit.
  • 
  • Variable Resistor
  • A variable resistor is a resistor which can have its resistance changed.
  • Lamp
  • A lamp is a component with a filament that glows when a current is passed through it. Lamps can be used to see things in the dark.
  • Switch
  • A switch is a component that can break the circuit, allowing other components to be turned on and off. A light switch is an example of a switch.
  • Voltmeter
  • A voltmeter is used to measure the potential difference, or amount of push, between two parts in a circuit.
  • Ammeter
  • An ammeter is used to measure the size of a current in a circuit
