1 Electric Current

2 Current- flow of electrons through a wire or any conductor.
Potential difference (voltage)- the difference in potential between two different places. Resistance- the tendency for a material to oppose the flow of electrons, changing electrical energy into thermal energy & light.

3 Ohm’s Law- states that potential difference equals current times the resistance.
-All conductors have some resistance.

4 Ohm’s Law equation Variable Ending Units Voltage (V) volts Current (I) amps Resistance (R) ohms or Ω

5 V = I x R I = V / R R = V / I V . . R I x
