In order to save time and ensure that sketches are accurate, scientists came up with a novel way of showing the components of a circuit using special symbols. These symbols are used all over the world and help scientists, engineers and technicians to draw or record circuits more quickly and accurately.ComponentSketch SymbolWireLight bulb Battery (cell)Switch Closed circuitOpen circuitGrade 6: Term 3: Natural Sciences and Technology-Electric circuits
© e-classroom 2013www.e-classroom.co.za Drawing CircuitsIn the space provided, draw your own circuit using symbols from the previous worksheet. Remember to label your symbols.This a circuit diagram. This is a simple and quick way to represent an electric circuit. The circuit has a battery, a bulb and a switch, which are all connected with electric wires. Did you draw straight circuit wires or were they a little curved and bent? Although we draw the wires as straight lines in a circuit diagram, in real life, the wires are not straight.Your circuit should look like this: Now draw as many different circuits as you can. Here are some ideas:A circuit with 1 cell and 2 bulbs A circuit with 2 cells and 2 bulbA circuit with 3 cells and 3 bulbsA circuit with 3 cells, a bulb and an open switch A circuit with 1 cell and 2 bulbs and a closed switch. The switch must be in between the bulbs.GRADE 6Circuit diagrams and symbols (2)batterylight bulbswitchGrade 6: Term 3: Natural Sciences and Technology-Electric circuits
