A series circuit provides only one path for electric current to move through the circuit. We study what happens when more cells or resistors are added into a series circuit.

Parallel circuits
A parallel circuit provides more than one path for the electric current to move through the circuit. We investigate what happens when we add cells in parallel in a circuit.

Safety with electricity
Households use parallel circuits to ensure energy flow for multiple rooms. We discuss the different safety measures that are in place in our homes and appliances and we also look at the dangers associated with electricity.

Electricity generation
Electricity is generated in a power station. In previous grades, we have looked at how electricity is generated within coal-powered power stations and distributed to the country in the national electricity grid. We are going to revise some of these concepts.
