  • A cell is a chemical system in which certain chemical reactions cause the flow of electricity by means of an external circuit.
  • A battery is when two or more cells are connected in series
  • Potential difference is the work done per unit charge
  • Resistance is a material’s opposition to the flow of electric current through it.
  • Ohm's law states that potential difference across a resistor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided its temperature remains constant.
  • Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge.
  • A battery is when two or more cells are connected in series.
  • Conductors are substances that allow electric current to pass through them.
  • Insulators do not allow electric current to pass through it.
  • Insulators do not conduct electricity because they have no free electrons.
  • An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity via free ions that form when
    molten or in solution.
  • Conventional current is charges that move from the positive terminal of a battery through the circuit to the negative terminal of the battery.
