Building a series circuit from its symbols

- 11-13
Students place a cell, switch, lamp, ammeter and voltmeter into the five lettered gaps of a circuit diagram. The ammeter must go in series and the voltmeter on the branch across the lamp, so the question tests the one rule students most often get the wrong way round.
Sample question
A desk lamp bulb is tested on a 12 V supply. The lamp has a resistance of **6 Ω**, so the ammeter should read **2 A**. Place each component in the correct gap.
