Topics for Electricity Test

1. Grade 11 Electricity Half Test
Topics and format for test

2. • Know the equations and definitions for current
and potential difference (voltage).
• Know how to draw series and parallel circuits.
This requires knowing symbols for battery, light
bulb, switch, motor and resistor.
• Know the relationships between current and
potential difference in both types of circuits.
• Know how to calculate equivalent resistance for
CCT’s (for series, parallel and complex CCT’s)
• Know how to use Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s node
law.
• Know the equations for adding resistances in
series and in parallel circuits.

3. • Know how to connect ammeters and voltmeters
in a circuit. Know the symbols for these devices.
• Know what “shorting “ is and what the effect of
having a load shorted is.
• Format of half test:
– Answering T/F and M/C questions. (3 t/f, 7 m/c)
– Drawing a circuit
– Analyzing a complex circuit (10 marks). This will
require calculating currents through loads
(resistances) and the potential differences across
loads. You will have to calculate 5+ currents and 5+
voltages.
– 25 total marks that are split into KICA categories .
