D.C Circuit for O Level Physics – What’s tested

D.C circuit for O Level physics

In this post, let’s look at what’s tested in detail for D.C circuit for O Level physics.

I go through the points in detail in my video here.

This is a chapter with mainly calculations, hence, knowing all the formulae is essential. You can find a list of formulae for O Level Physics here.

Below is a checklist of what you need to know for O Level Physics on the topic current electricity.

Checklist for D.C Circuit for O Level Physics
