  • Ohm's law - the potential difference across a conductor is directly proportional to the current in the component as long as its temperature remains constant
  • Resistance - a property of a component calculated by dividing the potential difference across it by the current in it, symbol R, unit ohm
  • Electric current - the rate of flow of charge, symbol I, measured in amperes, A; normally a flow of electrons in metals or a flow of ions in electrolytes
  • Electromotive force (e.m.f) - defined as the energy transferred from chemical to electrical energy per unit charge
  • The ohm - the resistance of a component when a potential difference of 1V is produced per ampere of current
