    Circuit Symbols

    BULB (LAMP)

    A component which lights up when


    electricity passes through it in a
    circuit

    MOTOR

    A component which moves (spins)


    when electricity passes through it
    in a circuit

    BUZZER

    A component which makes a sound


    when electricity passes through it
    in a circuit

    WIRE

    Plastic-coated electrical wire which


    conducts electricity around a
    circuit

    SWITCH

    Part of a circuit which can easily be


    opened or closed to control the
    flow of electric current

    CELL – 1 battery

    A safe power source. A store of


    chemical potential energy that can
    power a circuit

    CELL – 2 batteries

    Two cells used together to make a


    more powerful power source
    Circuit Symbols

    AMMETER

    Measures the flow of electrons in a


    circuit, which is known as current

    VOLTMETER

    Measures the voltage produced by


    a power supply

    RESISTOR

    It slows down the flow of electrons


    in a circuit.
