Electricity: Name: Class: Date Given: Date Due in

This document provides information and questions about electrical circuits. It includes diagrams of sample circuits and questions about circuit components, current, potential difference, and circuit completeness. Students are asked to identify circuit symbols, describe current at different points, explain why circuits shown have no current, and draw a combined circuit diagram including an ammeter to show current flow.
