17. What are the properties of electric circuits?
Electric current is the net movement of electrons.
Electrons are present in all electrical systems.
When electrons begin to move in the same direction, there is current.

18. Volts = Joules/Coulomb
Electric Potential
Electric Potential is the electric potential energy between points A and B, for a charge q.
Two different electric potentials set-up an electric field, which causes existing electrons to flow from the high potential to the low potential.
Volts = Joules/Coulomb
Potential Difference
 E Field
 Current

Faraday’s Law:
Induced voltage in a coil is proportional to the number of loops, multiplied by the rate at which the magnetic field changes.
