Study Jams Electric Currents

The continuous flow of electric charges through a material

• electric current

• electric circuit

• voltage

• parallel circuit

What is current measured in?

• Ω (Ohms)

• V (Volts)

• A (Amps)

• W (Watts)

The two types of current are...

• AC/DC

• Alternating Current

• Direct Current

• All of the above

___________ wires keep electrons on course & protect us from the dangerous flow of electricity. 

• Insulated

• Conducted
