This worksheet assesses understanding of current in series and parallel circuits. It is suitable for GCSE combined science and physics, as well as higher ability KS3. Current is the flow of electrical charge. The current in a series circuit is the same everywhere, as there is only one path for the electrical charge to travel on. The current in a parallel circuit splits into different branches then combines again before it goes back into the supply. When the current splits, the current in each branch after the split adds up to the same as the current just before the split. This resource includes a worksheet and answers with explanations and is suitable for use by non-specialists. It is ideal for a cover lesson.

KS3 worksheet looking at how current acts in a series and parallel circuit

We can use distance-time graphs to show how an object has travelled along a straight line. This worksheet is aimed at KS3 and lower ability KS4. The worksheet builds in complexity, allowing learners to practise using distance-time graphs to describe the journey of an object.
