Voltage, Current, Resistance Flashcards
1
Q
What is voltage?
A
Voltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit’s power source that pushes charged electrons (current).
Voltage is pressure that pushes the current.
2
Q
What is current?
A
Current is the rate at which electrons flow past a point in a complete electrical circuit.
The current flowing through the conducting wires.
3
Q
What is resistance?
A
Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of current in an electrical circuit.
Counteracts (act against in order to reduce its force or neutralize it.) the flow of current.
