    • Voltage is the potential difference between two points in a circuit and is measured in volts.
    • The formula for calculating resistance is R = V / A, where R is resistance, V is voltage, and A is current.
    • Resistance is the opposition to current flow and is measured in ohms (Ω).
    • Current is the flow of electrons through a conductor and is measured in amps (A).
    • The two main types of electrical circuits are series circuits and parallel circuits.
    • Resistors release thermal energy as electric current passes through them, which helps regulate power flow in circuits.
