Voltage definition (V): How much energy the electrons are carrying, measured in volts
Voltage rule: In a series the voltage is split between components, In a parallel the voltage is the same everywhere else
Current definition (I): How quickly the electrons move (flow), measured in amps
Current rule: In series current is the same everywhere, In parallel current is split between pathways
Resistance definition (R): Used to slow/resist flow of electrons, measured in ohms
Resistance slows down the current by slowing the electons (electricity being carried around the circuit)
With resistence:
Without resistence (the lightbulbs shine more because there is no resistence stopping the electrical current):

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what I had to say
3. Something thoughtful - how have you connected with my learning? Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
