Electric circuits and electronics

An electric circuit

An electric circuit is a pathway for the flow of electrons. Electric current is a continous flow of electrons through a circuit.

Measuring electric current

Electric current (I) is the charge or number of electrons that flow through the cross-section of a conductor every second. We can express this mathematically as follows: I=Q/t. Electric current is measured in amperes or amps (A) in the International System.

The ammeter is used to measure electric current

Voltage or potential difference

The amount of energy that generator can transfer to electrons depends on its voltage (V) or electric tension. This is measured in volts (V).

We use a voltmeter to measure voltage
