Description

Ohm’s Law

Ohm’s Law is one of the most important ideas in understanding how electricity flows. It explains the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit. Voltage is the push that makes electric charges move, current is the flow of those charges, and resistance is what tr...

Electric current is the flow of electric charge, just like water flows through a hose.

The pressure that pushes the current is called voltage, and resistance is what tries to st...
