Scientific Circuit Symbols Quiz
Electrical circuits are often represented by circuit diagrams. Instead of
spending a lot of time creating very artistic drawings of circuits, we use
standard symbols that are much simpler. They are also easier to draw and
interpret.

The symbols represent


components such as a bulb,
ammeter, and voltmeter that can
be used in a circuit diagram.

Circuits can be drawn in a series


where one component comes after
the other or in parallel.
Scientific Circuit Symbols Quiz
Match the parts of a circuit with their scientific symbols.
(Sometimes there will be more than one symbol for a circuit part.)

If the path is open anywhere in If a component is removed, then


the circuit, current stops flowing it is possible for the current to
to all components. take another path to reach other
components.
Circuit Configuration
Components in a circuit can be connected in one
of two ways.
Series Circuits Parallel Circuits
• Components are • Both ends of the
connected end-to-end. components are connected
• There is only a single together.
path for current to flow. • There are multiple paths for
current to flow.

Components
(i.e., resistors, batteries, capacitors, etc.)
Circuit Symbol Diagrams
When drawing circuit diagrams, you must always follow these rules.

1. Always draw circuits using straight lines.

2. Use a pencil and a ruler to draw these lines.

How would you begin to draw the circuit below?


Voltage in a Circuit

of o
f n

The battery provides voltage that will push


current through the bulb when the switch is on.
Resistance in a Circuit

Resistor

of o
f n

Resistors are components that create resistance.


Reducing current causes the bulb to become
more dim.
