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.

KS3/4 Physics Worksheet Bundle

This bundle provides printable PDF worksheets for most major topics encountered by students in KS3/early KS4 Physics, covering key topics such as: * Energy * Momentum * Speed, Distance and Time * Units of Measure * Specific Heat Capacity * Magnets and Electromagnets * Basic Series Circuits and Power * The Universe * Density and Volume * Hooke's Law (and Elasticity) * Turning Moments * Optics (Reflection, Refraction, Lenses) * Pressure * Light and Sound Waves * + Free definitions resource The worksheets are all designed to take between 40-55 minutes (though individual sheets vary) and all include a mixture of short and long calculation, short and long answer and exam style problems for in class work, revision, homework or assessment. Answers are provided as an additional sheet at the end of each PDF - shorter, easier questions have bottom line solutions provided however longer, more involved questions have solutions and guidance. The sheets start simple however progress in difficulty throughout, testing all abilities. The sheets are suitable for early KS4 and 'challenge' questions are provided to test those students who need something a bit more involved to keep them busy. Some sheets are listed as KS3 instead of KS3/4 - these sheets may cover a topic at a KS3 level only, and may not be relevant for the complexity added for GCSE, though this is only the case for 2 of the worksheets in the bundle. All of the worksheets provided in this bundle can be bought **individually** in my shop however this bundle gives you access to all of them nearly 30% off!
