Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Voltage : The electrical potential difference, or electrical pressure, between two points, measured in volts, and it does not flow by itself.
  • Current : The flow of electrons through a circuit, measured in amperes or milliamperes.
  • Resistance : A material’s opposition to the flow of current, measured in ohms.
  • Program statement : A single instruction or command line in a program, and text-based statements usually end with a semicolon.
