Bulb is complete

Measures the voltage


Voltmeter produced by a power
supply

Measures the flow of


electrons in a circuit,
Ammeter which is known as
current

It slows down the flow


Resistor of electrons in a
circuit.

It slows down the flow


Variable of electrons in a

resistor circuit. The resistance


can be changed
Transforms chemical
Cell energy into electrical
energy

Two or more cells in


Battery series

Open The circuit is broken


switch

Closed It connects the


components in a
switch circuit.

Thermisto The resistance


depends on the
r temperature.
Light- The resistance
depends on the light.
dependen More light means less
resistance. In light,
t resistor current will flow
through the circuit.
(LDR)

Current only flows


one direction. It
Diode doesn’t light up if it is
the wrong way round.

Used for cutting off an


electrical current,
Fuse when there is an
overload of electricity.
