Circuit Symbols - A Level Physics

This video introduces and explains the essential circuit symbols you need to know to understand the rest of electricity in A Level Physics.

We use circuit symbols to draw diagrams of electric circuits. Each symbol is simple but easily recognisable as its corresponding electrical component. Electrical component symbols you need to know include symbols for a: cell, battery, bulb, resistor, variable resistor, light dependent resistor (LDR), thermistor, diode, light emitting diode (LED), ammeter, voltmeter etc.

Thanks for watching,

Lewis

Fantastic videos. Excellent quality. I've got an AQA AS-Level Unit 1 Physics exam on monday, is there any more videos for unit one planned between now and then?
Thanks!

What about a PTC Thermistor? Do we need to know about it and what is its symbol?

The LED's are coming! Save yourselves if you can!
