What 3 things does a very simple circut need
A battery/ cell/ powerpack
What should a circut diagram looks like?
Straight lines (with a ruler) ans right angles (no curves)
Draw a circut diagram for this circut A battery, switch , wires, light bulb and a restrictor
What does a restrictor do?
Restricts the flow of electricity
What are the three types of circuts? Simple circuit: one electrical component
Series circuit: multiple electrical components on one circuit
Parallel circuit: Off branches
Divergent boundary The plates are moving apart <- ->
Convergent boundary A tectonic plate boundary where two plates collide
come together
