1

Current (I)

The amount of charge that can pass through a cross sectional area. Measured in amperes (A).

New cards
2

Electric Circuit

A closed loop that allows electric current to flow, consisting of a source of voltage, and resistance.

New cards
3

Resistance

The opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit, measured in ohms (Ω).

New cards
4

Ohm’s Law

V=IR.

New cards
5

Power

The rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit, measured in watts (W). P = IV

New cards
6

Kirchoffs’s Loop Rule

The total sum of voltage differences within a circuit must equal 0.

New cards
7
