Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in:
amperes |
|
volts |
|
ohms |
|
coulombs |
Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in amperes (A). A coulomb (C) is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.
Using a fuse with a current rating higher than that required by a circuit:
is required |
|
makes no difference |
|
is recommended |
|
makes the circuit less safe |
A fuse is a type of low resistance resistor that stops current flow in a circuit in response to a larger than intended electric current flow. Using a fuse with a higher current rating than required by a circuit is less safe as it could potentially allow overcurrent and risk a fire or heat-related equipment damage.

Connecting the 4 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 36V 25A configuration. Connecting the 4 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 9V 100A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 2 batteries can be connected in series and 2 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 18V 50A configuration.
Electromotive force is another name for:
voltage |
|
current |
|
energy |
|
power |
Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. Electrons will flow as current from areas of high potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of low potential. Voltage and current are directly proportional in that the higher the voltage applied to a conductor the higher the current that will result.
