  1. Series Circuits and Parallel Circuits • All components are wired in sequence • Components are wired parallel to one another

  2. What is Current?

  3. Current is measured in Amperes (A or Amps for short). Current is a measure of how many electrons go through the wire each second. Current is measured using an Ammeter.

  5. What is Voltage?

  6. You ate 6 cookies!

  7. Voltage is a measure of how much energy each electron has gained or lost across a component. Voltage is measured in Volts (V for short). Voltage is gained across a battery Voltage is lost across components that use energy, like light bulbs. Voltage is measured using aVoltmeter.
