Voltage | a force that pushes through the currents |
Resistence | friction that impedes flow of current through the circuit |
current | the actual 'substance' that is flowing through the wires of the circuit (electrons) |
series circuit | All in a row. 1 path for electricity, and the light goes out ad the circuit is broken |
parallel circuit | many paths for electricity, light goes out but the others stay own |
Measuring current | electrical current is measure in amps using an ammeter connected in series in the circuit |
Measuring volts | its is measured in volts on a voltmeter |
Ohm's law | I= current(amphers) |
