Q
current (I)
A
rate of flow of positive charges
2
Q
electromotive force (emf)
A
amount of energy converted per unit charge from other forms of energy to electrical energy when the source drives a charge round a complete circuit
3
Q
potential difference (V)
A
amount of energy per unit charge converted from electrical energy to other forms of energy when the charge passes through an electrical component
4
Q
resistance (R)
A
ratio of the potential difference across a component to the current flowing through it
