This worksheet provides a comprehensive practice resource for Key Stage 3 and lower Key Stage 4 students studying series circuits and electrical power. It is ideal for revision, homework, or cover lessons, and encourages both core understanding and extended thinking.
The resource includes eight thoughtfully designed questions covering a wide range of content. Students are required to recall definitions, interpret diagrams, perform calculations using standard formulae such as P = IV and V = IR, and apply concepts in real-life scenarios. The challenge question at the end promotes reasoning and conceptual depth.
The worksheet is suitable for use with calculators and is intended to take approximately 40 to 50 minutes to complete. A full answer sheet is included, making it suitable for self-assessment, peer marking, or teacher feedback.
Topics covered include:
Current and voltage in series circuits
Resistance and Ohm’s Law
Electrical power calculations using P = IV, P = I²R and P = V²/R
Energy transfer and efficiency
Real-life application questions involving energy cost and power rating
The resource is provided in a clear, print-friendly format and is ready to use in any classroom or homework setting. It is best suited for students aged 12 to 16 and is particularly valuable as part of GCSE foundation preparation or consolidation.
