  • The direction of the current is defined as the direction in which positive charges would flow.
  • Currents is measured in amps and voltage is measured in volts.
  • Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω).
  • Power is measured in watts (W) and energy is measured in joules (J).
  • Electric circuits are made up of components connected by conductors, such as copper wire or aluminium foil.
  • Electric circuits are made up of components connected by conductors, such as wires.
  • In a simple series circuit, there is only one pathway for electrons to travel through.
  • Power is measured in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW).
