Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
What is electric current?
Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, measured in amperes (A).
What is Ohm’s Law?
Ohm’s Law states that the voltage (V) across a conductor is directly proportional to the current (I) flowing through it and the resistance (R) of the conductor (V = IR).
What are the differences between series and parallel circuits?
In a series circuit, components are connected end-to-end, so the current is the same through all components, but the voltage divides. In a parallel circuit, components are connected across the same voltage source, so the voltage is the same across each component, but the current divides.
