What is Electrical Resistance?
As its name implies, an electric resistor is an electronic component that resists the flow of electric current in a circuit. Electric resistors are divided into two different types of materials, conductors and insulators. The conductor allows the flow of electric current whereas an insulator does not. So the conductor materials should need the electric resistor components in their structure. Every electrical equipment has... -
What Is Electric Current?
Electric current is an electric charge in motion. It can take the form of a sudden discharge of static electricity, like a lightning bolt or a spark between your finger and a ground light switch plate. More commonly, though, when we talk about electric current, we mean the more controlled form of electricity from generators, batteries, solar cells, or fuel cells. -
What is Voltage?
In short, voltage can be thought of as a force that pulls electricity (current) around a circuit. If a high voltage is applied to a circuit, then it will experience a high flow of electricity (i.e. current flow). If a lower voltage is applied to a circuit, then it will experience a lower flow of electricity. There is a good analogy for voltage that...
