Understanding Electricity and Electrons

Define electric current in your own words.

• Electric current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit.

• Electric current is the resistance in a circuit.

• Electric current is the storage of electric charge.

• Electric current is the voltage across a circuit.

What is the unit of measurement for voltage?

• Volt

• Ohm

• Watt

What happens to the voltage in a series circuit?

• The voltage remains constant throughout the circuit.

• The total voltage is divided among the components.

• The voltage increases with each component added.

• The voltage is only present at the power source.
