2. Voltage Voltage is the electrical force, or "pressure", that causes current to flow in a circuit. It is measured in VOLTS (V).

3. Current Current is the movement of electrical charge - the flow of electrons through the electronic circuit. Current is measured in AMPERES (AMPS, A or I). Current would be the flow of water moving through the tube (wire).

4. Resistance Resistance is anything that causes an opposition to the flow of electricity in a circuit. It is measured in OHMS (  ).
