DRAWING CIRCUIT DIAGRAMS - Physics



circuit diagram worksheet

PART 1 - Convert the following descriptions to schematic circuit diagrams. Remember to always use a

ruler when drawing circuit diagrams.

|1. |Draw a circuit diagram containing a battery with 2 dry|3. |Draw a circuit diagram containing a battery with 3 |

| |cells in series, one pathway with an open switch and a| |cells in series, two pathways with a lamp on each |

| |lamp. Show the direction of electron flow. | |path. Add a switch that would control the lamps on |

| | | |both paths. Show the direction of electron flow. |

|2. |Draw a circuit diagram containing a battery with 2 dry|4. |Draw a circuit diagram containing a battery with 4 |

| |cells in parallel, one pathway with a closed switch | |cells in series, three pathways and a lamp on each |

| |and a lamp. Show the direction of electron flow. | |path. Add switches to control each of the lamps and|

| | | |a fourth switch to control all of the lamps. Show |

| | | |the direction of electron flow. |

PART 2 - Convert the following pictorials to schematic circuit diagrams. Write descriptions for each

pictorial.

|1. |[pic] |3. |[pic] |

|2. |[pic] |4. |[pic] |

PART 3 - Draw the following circuits as described below. If the circuit is complete, use arrows to show the movement of electrons around the circuit (be sure to draw them in the correct direction)

1. Draw a circuit that has a cell, an open switch and one light bulb connected in series.

2. Draw a circuit that has a battery, a closed switch and a resistor connected in series.

3. Draw a circuit that has a cell and a closed switch on the main path, a light bulb on the first branch, and a resistor on the second branch connected in parallel.

4. Draw a circuit that has a battery, an open switch and two light bulbs connected in series.

5. Draw a circuit that has a cell and an open switch on the main path, a light bulb on the first branch and a light bulb with an ammeter after it on the second branch connected in parallel.

6. Draw a circuit that has an A/C source, a closed switch and a resistor connected in series.
