I can identify the circuit diagram from a picture of a circuit

When identifying circuit diagrams from pictures of circuit, the most important things to do are:

  1. look carefully
  2. check every detail
  3. follow the wires and check how components are connected.

It is a game of spot the difference and you must make sure you look for the similarities and differences between the pictures and the diagrams.

Things to check:

  1. which way round the battery is
  2. how many connections at each junction/connection
  3. which components are connected together
  4. which order components are connected in

Below are some examples of circuit diagrams which have been drawn from the corresponding pictures of circuits:

Remember to check all details and look for components in the pictures being connected the same as the circuit diagram.

Why not have a go at drawing these circuit diagrams yourself from the pictures without looking at the answers.
