Is how much a material or object opposes the flow of electrons
3
Q
Current
A
Current is the rate the charge flows past a defined point
4
Q
Volts
A
Voltage is the force that pushes electrons around a circuit
5
Q
Power
A
Power is the rate that energy is being transformed from one form to another
6
Q
Energy
A
Energy is the potential to do work
7
Q
Kirchov current rule
A
The sum of current into a junction must be equal to the sum leaving the junction
I3=I1+I2=0
8
Q
Kirchhof voltage law
A
The algebraic sum of the voltage (potential) difference in any loop must equal zero
