  • Electric current is a flow of electric charge.
  • A bigger current means faster flow, a Smaller current means slower flow.
  • Charge Flow = Current x Time
    A) Current
  • In a series circuit, the current is equal.
  • when you add a resistor in parallel, the overall resistance decreases
  • Potential difference = current × resistance
  • current = potential difference / resistance
  • Potential difference in a parallel circuit is the same across each branch.
  • Diodes only allow current to flow 1 direction.
  • Ammeters are added to circuits in series.
  • Batteries are two or more cells
  • In current the electrons always goes from positive to negative
  • Potential difference the force that causes the electrons to flow
