  • Materials that permit electric charge to move within them are called conductor
  • Those that do NOT permit electric charge to move within them are called insulator
  • Metals are good conductors nonmetals are good insulator
  • Electrical quantities:
    Current , voltage , resistance
  • Current is a movement of charged particles in a wire to a specific direction
  • Current unit of measure is ampere (A)
  • The other name of voltage is electromotive force (emf) or potential difference
  • Voltage is the electric pressure that cause current flow the methods of producing a emf induction in generation and chemical reaction in batteries
  • Voltage unit of measure is volt/s
  • Resistance is opposition to the flow of charge
  • Resistance unit of measure is ohm
  • There are four factors affecting resistance
    1. Length
    2. Cross-sectional area
    3. Resistivity of materials
    4. Temperature
  • Ohm's law is formulated by george simon ohm
  • Ohm's law state that the current in a circuit is directly proportional to the total voltage acting in the circuit and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit
