Electric current\text{\textcolor{#4257b2}{\textbf{Electric current}}} is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.

Voltage difference\text{\textcolor{#c34632}{\textbf{Voltage difference}}} is the difference between two points that causes the flow of electric current.

Electric circuit\textbf{Electric circuit} is a path where electric current flows.

Resistance\text{\underline{Resistance}} is the opposition to electric current flow.

Ohm’s law\text{\textcolor{#c34632}{\textbf{Ohm's law}}} states that the current I\textit{I} is directly proportional to the voltage V\textit{V} and inversely proportional to the resistance R\textit{R} though, is independent of current. In formula, I=VRI = \dfrac{V}{R}.
