<p>Electric current = The flow of electric charge through a conductor, measured in amperes (A), with one ampere equivalent to one coulomb of charge passing per second. Electric voltage = The measure of electric potential difference in volts (V), driving the movement of electric charges through a circuit. Electric resistance = The opposition offered by a material or component to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms (Ω). Electromotive force (EMF) = Provides energy per unit charge by a source like a battery, enabling devices to function.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Potential difference = The difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit, causing current to flow through a resistor and generate heat and light. Ohm's Law (V = IR) = Relates voltage, current, and resistance, enabling the calculation of current flowing through a circuit. Thicker wires = Have less resistance than thinner wires, impacting the flow of electric current in a circuit. Understanding electric current, voltage, and resistance = Forms the basis of understanding electrical circuits and their behavior.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Electrical Energy = Represents the total amount of electricity consumed or produced over a specific duration. Power = Represents the rate at which energy is used or transferred in a system. Unit of Measurement for Electrical Energy = Measured in watt-hours (Wh) or kilowatt-hours (kWh).
