    • electrons move from one point to another., electrons move from one point to another.
      electric potential energy
    • , electrons move from one point to another.

    • movement is possible
      electric field
    • velocity of this motions
      drift theory
    • move to any direction
      electrons
    • . If this flow is regulated and made to move continuously in one direction, then the flow becomes an
      electric current
    • . Drift velocity and electric current are
      directly proportional
    • I
      Electric current
    • q
      Amount of charges that pass through
    • t

    • is any materials that allows the free flow of electric current.
      electric conductor
    • limitation to current flow
      resistance
    • Resistance and electric current
      inversely proportional
    • an intrinsic property of the material that describes how it resists the electric current flowing through it
      Electrical resistivity
    • reduced by an increase in the electrical resistivity of the material, whereas a decrease in the resistivity allows more current to flow through the material.
      current flow
    • material results in a lower resistance offered by the material and a higher current flow through it.
      electrical conductivity
    • "Fat" conductors allow more charges to pass through them, which means more current can flow.
      cross-sectional area
    • factors affecting electric current

    • The unit of resistance of resistance
      ohm
    • – what the voltage source provides to a circuit. It is the “push” given to the electric charges for them to flow from the source to the components of the circuit.
      Electromotive Force
    • an actual consideration of the potentials in the circuit. The existence of also identifies the flow of charges through the circuit.
      Potential difference
    • discovered the relationship among voltage, current, and resistance
      Georg Simon Ohm
    • Georg Simon Ohm discovered the relationship among
      voltage, current, and resistance
    • Georg Simon Ohm discovered the relationship among voltage, current, and resistance

    • The pathway for the current to move to and from the source and the appliance is called an
      electric circuit
    • allow the current to flow from the source of the current to the load where the current is needed. Figure 4.5 shows an example of this type of circuit
      Closed circuits
    • have gap(s) where current cannot flow. Thus, electric current cannot be delivered to the load where it is needed.
      Open circuits
    • make it easy to draw circuits. simplify your representation of a circuit.
