This document discusses electric current and electric circuits. It covers topics like electric current, resistance, semiconductors, and how circuits work. Key points include:
- Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. It is measured in amps.
- Ohm's law defines the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in a circuit. It states that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.
- Resistors are circuit elements that introduce resistance. Resistance depends on the material, length, and cross-sectional area of the conductor.
- Batteries provide the voltage difference that drives current through a closed circuit, similar to how water pressure drives flow
