Time
potential difference (V) is measured in volts, V
The
current
is the
rate
at which
charge
flows through an object.
Charge is measured in
coulombs
(
C
)
Electric current
is the
rate
at which
charge
flows through an object.
Resistance (R) is measured in
ohms
, Ω
Power (P) is measured in
watts
,
W
Time is measured in
seconds
, s

Potential difference
is the
difference
between one
point
of a circuit to another.
Resistance
is a measure of how the components
resists
the
flow
of charge.
The equation for
electric

When resister is
higher
, its
harder
for charge to flow and
lowers
the current.
When the potential difference is
higher
, there is a
greater
flow of charge and a bigger current.
