A quick guide, with video, explaining the concept of electricity and electric current.

A simple, step-by-step, visual guide showing you how to generate electricity by spinning a magnet in a coil of wire.

Objects can become positively charged or negatively charged. This is called static electricity. Find out more with Â鶹ԼÅÄ Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

When charged objects discharge suddenly, an electrostatic spark is formed. Find out more with Â鶹ԼÅÄ Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

Electrical current flows easily through a conductor, but does not flow through an insulator. Find out more with Â鶹ԼÅÄ Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

Circuit diagrams use symbols to show how electrical components are connected in a circuit. Find out more with Â鶹ԼÅÄ Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

Different models, like water in a central heating system, can help us understand electrical circuits. Find out more with Â鶹ԼÅÄ Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

Electrical circuits can be connected in series, meaning all the components are in the same loop. Find out more with Â鶹ԼÅÄ Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

In circuits connected in parallel, the components are connected on different branches. Find out more with Â鶹ԼÅÄ Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

Learn how electric circuits work and how to measure current and potential difference.

The more resistance there is in a circuit, the less current will flow. Find out more with Â鶹ԼÅÄ Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.
