Current
The flow of electrons, also known as
electron
flow
Electrons flow from the
negative
terminal
to the
positive
Conventional current
The standard that most of the world follows, where current flows from the
positive
terminal
to the
negative
Electrons
are the
charges
that are freely moving in any direction in any material
Electric current
The
movement of electrons in
one
direction in conductors
Current
A measure of how much electric charge flows through a circuit
Ampere
Unit of current, equivalent to a coulomb per second (1A = 1 C/s)
Andre Marie Ampere
French Physicist who founded electrodynamics
Voltage
Pressure from an electrical circuit
Alessandro Volta
Italian Physicist whose invention of the electric battery probided the first source of continuous current
Resistance
measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit
Georg Simon Ohm
German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
Conductor
electrons can move easily
Inductors
Restrict the flow of electrons
Electrician
one that builds circuit
Ohms law
states that the potential difference across a resistor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it
