1 ELECTRICITY D.C. stands for direct current which flows in one direction only (- to +) A.C.stands for alternating current which changes direction 50 times per second.

2 ELECTRICITY D.C. is seen as a straight line on the oscilloscope. D.C. is seen as a straight line on the oscilloscope. A.C. is seen as a wavey line on the oscilloscope. A.C. is seen as a wavey line on the oscilloscope.

3 ELECTRICITY An electric current is a flow of charged particles called electrons. An electric current is a flow of charged particles called electrons. You will see the circuit symbols on the side wall. You will see the circuit symbols on the side wall.

4 ELECTRICITY Current has the symbol I and is measured in amps (A) Current has the symbol I and is measured in amps (A) Resistance has the symbol R and is measured in ohms (   Resistance has the symbol R and is measured in ohms (   Voltage has the symbol V and is measured in volts(V)

5 ELECTRICITY Current is measured with an ammeter in series. Current is measured with an ammeter in series. Voltage is measured with a voltmeter in parallel. Voltage is measured with a voltmeter in parallel.
