 Electric circuit | A complete path through which electric current can flow. |
| Resistance | Determines how much current flows for a given voltage. Higher resistance means less current flows. |
| Ohm | The unit of resistance. One ohm allows 1 amp to flow when a voltage f 1 volt is applied. |
| Conductor | A material with a low electrical resistance. Metals such as copper and aluminum are good conductors. |
| Insulator | A material with a high electrical resistance. Plastic and rubber are good insulators. |
