It demonstrates how static electricity is created and how current electricity flows through complete circuits, using examples like a train and various experiments.

I came to engineering by way of the technician route. I learned electronics in a technical school and was taught that current flow was electron flow and all circuit analysis was done that way.

Many introductory books on electricity try to relate voltage to water pressure, electric current to water flow, and resistance to changes in pipe volume.

When it comes to electrical circuits, there’s a lot to remember and understand. We've got you covered with this Intro to Circuits BBC Bitesize guide.

Follow the current Remember that we call a collection of connected electrical or electronic components a “circuit” because currents always flow from a source to a load and then back via a return ...

Learn about the roles of each component in an electrical circuit with these interactive learning resources for KS2 Science students aged 7-11 from BBC Bitesize.

In contrast to alternating current, or AC, which, depending on the supply's frequency, switches direction 50 or 60 times per second, the current in DC circuits flows only in one direction.

Which way does electricity flow through a vehicle’s electrical system? From positive to negative, or from negative to positive? Depending on your viewpoint, it can flow either way.
