On the specification
| Board | Spec | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| AQA GCSE 8463 | 4.2.2 | Series and parallel circuits |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 10.11 | Recall that current is conserved at a junction in a circuit |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 10.14 | Explain why, if two resistors are in series, the net resistance is increased, whereas with two in parallel the net resistance is decreased |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 10.15 | Calculate the currents, potential differences and resistances in series circuits |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 10.16 | Explain the design and construction of series circuits for testing and measuring |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 10.3 | Describe the differences between series and parallel circuits |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P3.2a | Describe the differences between series and parallel circuits |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P3.2b | Represent d.c. circuits with the conventions of positive and negative terminals, and the symbols that represent common circuit elements |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P3.2i | Explain why, if two resistors are in series the net resistance is increased, whereas with two in parallel the net resistance is decreased (qualitative explanation only) |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P3.2j | Calculate the currents, potential differences and resistances in d.c. series and parallel circuits |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P3.2k | Explain the design and use of d.c. circuits for measurement and testing purposes |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P3.2m | Apply the equations relating potential difference, current, quantity of charge, resistance, power, energy, and time, and solve problems for circuits which include resistors in series, using the concept of equivalent resistance |
