it is the driving force behind current flow
electric voltage
29
it is the motion or transfer of charges from one region of a conductor to another
electric current
30
it is the difference in the electric potentials of two charged bodies. Its unit is the volt.
electric potential difference
31
it is the property of a material that limits the amount of flow of current and converts electric energy to heat energy. Its unit is the Ohm
electric resistance
32
it is defined as the rate at which electrical energy is expended or used up. It is the rate electric energy is converted into another form, such as light, heat or mechanical energy (or converted from another form into electrical energy). Its unit is the Watt (W).
electrical power
33
it is the capacity to d o work. It is measured in Joules
energy
34
it is a collection of electrical elements interconnected in some specific way through which electric current flows or it is intended to flow.
electric circuit
35
is the cost of electrical energy consumed.
energy charge
36
is the user's highest rate at which energy is consumed in kilowatts.
maximum demand
37
is the billing fee related to the maximum charge.
demand charge
38
refers to the device or component that consumes electrical power in a circuit.
load
