I don't get why the current is the same everywhere in a series circuit.

Great question. Think about the charges flowing round the loop — where else could they go? What does that tell you about how many pass each point per second?

…oh. There's only one path.

Exactly. Now — what does that mean for the current at each component?

Ask about this question…

NewTeacher Console

Run your groups from one dashboard.

The teacher dashboard now groups students into classes, filters progress by class or topic paper so you can stay on top of tracking progress without all the paper work.

Classes with join codes
Name a class and allow students to join effortlessly with a generated QR code or class code which are generated instantly for students.
Course settings that stick
Set Combined or Triple and Foundation or Higher once — every student who joins inherits it so you know they are learning the right things.
Search and class averages
Find any of your students in seconds, or switch to class view for whole-group progress. See progress against every specification point and in key tools such as equation architect.

Signature toolEquation Architect

Master every AQA equation — one guided step at a time.

The Architect breaks intimidating word problems into a repeatable 3-step method: map the variables, pick the formula, then compute. Rinse and repeat to unlock tiers from Silver all the way to six markers in Platinum.

Map the variables
Drag knowns onto the question so the physics becomes visible before any maths.
Pick the right formula
Rearrange the AQA equation sheet so your unknown lands on the left.
Compute with confidence
Plug values in, check units, and fuse the answer to earn tier points.

In the lab

Updated exam practice tools
Exam practice and identification of strengths and weaknesses as expected but with future plans to support live exam sessions where users complete the same questions at the same time and receive feedback on their efforts compared to others! Time to get competitive!
Support for KS3 learning and other GCSE Sciences
Upcoming support for our younger learners and Biology and Chemistry classes following the same philosophy as the current Physics offering.

Your first fusion is one click away.
