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