Front

What is current measured in?

Back

A (Amps)

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An object that does not allow electrons to flow easily.

Front

What is the unit of resistance?

Back

Ω (Ohms)

Front

What is voltage?

Back

The force that pushes electrons through a circuit.

Front

What happens to current if the voltage increases?

Back

Current increases if resistance remains constant.

Front

What is a simple circuit?

Back

A circuit that has a complete path for current to flow.
