- Synopsis
- This page shows a labelled circuit diagram with a power supply, three components connected in series and four voltmeters measuring the voltage (potential difference) across these. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The diagram uses standard symbols to represent electrical components: the battery, on the left of the page, has horizontal parallel lines; a lamp is a circle with a diagonal cross inside; a resistor is an empty rectangle; a motor is a circle with an underlined capital print M inside. The four voltmeters are each shown as a circle with a capital print V inside. The circuis wiring is represented by a solid black line. The current flows in a clockwise direction around the circuit, from the positive terminal at the top of the battery on the left of the page to the negative terminal at the bottom of the battery. The large black dots show the junctions (where two or more wires join) in the circuit. The current from the power supply (a battery on centre left of the page) passes through three components arranged vertically in the centre of the page. The voltage across each component is measured by a voltmeter. In this series circuit, the sum of the voltages across the components equals the voltage of the battery.
