Learning outcomes of part 2

• electric current is the movement of electrons in a conductor.

• a conductor allows the electrons to flow easily and an insulator does not.

• metals such as copper and brass are good conductors.

• Plastics, wood, rubber, glass and ceramics are regarded as insulators.

• Understand that water is a conductor

• the relationship between power, potential difference and current.

• series and parallel resistor circuits.

• Finding out the combined resistance of two or three resistors in series.

• Finding out the combined resistance of two or three equal resistors in parallel.
