Electrical Potential

An electric potential is the amount of electric potential energy that a unitary point electric charge would have if located at any point in space

Electrical Pressure

Electrical Pressure refers to volt. Voltage is a unit of Electrical Pressure. It's the measurement of Electromotive Force of the Pressure of Electricity. Voltage is the force that pushes Electrical Current though a conductor. This is loosely analogous to pressure in a water line as in pounds per square inch.

Coulomb

In terms of SI base units, the coulomb is the equivalent of one ampere-second. Conversely, an electric current of A represents 1 C of unit electric charge carriers flowing past a specific point in 1 s. The unit electric charge is the amount of charge contained in a single electron.

Electric Circuit

a closed path that electric current fallows is a circuit

Parallel Circuit

a parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.

Ampere

a unit of electric current equal to a flow of one coulomb per second.

Voltage differance

a voltage difference is related to the force that causes electric charges to flow. Voltage difference is measured in volts.

Voltage

an electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts.

Electrical Resistance

resistance is the tendency for a material to oppose the flow of electrical energy into thermal energy and light

Current

the flow of electrons

Volt

the unit to mesure voltage difference

Ohm's Law

Ohm's law formula. The resistor's current I in amps (A) is equal to the resistor's voltage V in volts (V) divided by the resistance R in ohms (Ω): V is the voltage drop of the resistor, measured in Volts (V).

Electric Potential Difference

Voltage, electric potential difference, electric pressure or electric tension is the difference in electric potential energy between two points per unit electric charge
