Amperes: The unit of measurement for current

Charge: Whether there are more electrons or protons in a substance (negatively charged electrons vs positively charged protons) Positive and negative charges attract each other.

Coulombs: The rate of flow of current

Current: The rate of flow of electrical charge

Ohms: Unit of measurement of resistance

Potential difference: Also called voltage, it is the number of joules per coulomb, or the energy transferred per unit of current flowing per second.

Power: Rate of energy transferred.

Resistance: Anything that slows the flow in a circuit, increased by more components in series.

Voltage: Also called potential difference, it is the number of joules per coulomb, or the energy transferred per unit of current flowing per second.

Volts: Unit of measurement of voltage

Watts: Unit of measurement of power
