Content description

Electric circuits can be designed for diverse purposes using different components; the operation of circuits can be explained by the concepts of voltage and current

 Elaborations

• investigating parallel and series circuits and measuring voltage drops across and currents through various components

• investigating the properties of components such as LEDs, and temperature and light sensors
• comparing circuit design to household wiring

• exploring the use of sensors in robotics and control devices
