Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Current | The amount of charge moving past a point in a conductor in a unit of time |
| Resistance | The property of materials that opposes or impedes the flow of electric current |
| First Great Truth | The sum of the component voltage drops in a series circuit is equal to the voltage of the source. |
| Second Great Truth | The greater the resistance of a resistor, the more voltage it drops |
| Third Great Truth | In a series circuit, the percentage of resistance contributed by a component is equal to the percent of voltage dropped by that component. |
| Short Circuit | Any pathway that is made of wires only without regard to it's length |
| Role of a resistor | To oppose or impede the flow of electric current |
| Voltage Drop % | Voltage drop of component/Total Voltage in circuit |
| Ohm's Law | V=I*R |
