First at the bus stop is the meaning of each .
What is Voltage ? ( V )
Voltage is the potential difference between two points . The unit of measure of this is Volts
It is how high and how many electricity a body contains to be able to produce a specific amount of force ,
WHICH GREATLY AFFECTS THE :
Electric current ( I )
Electric current is the rate at which charges pass a given point . The unit of measure given for the current is Amperes .
Now to slow down the current that would eventually stop it , is the :
Resistance ( R )
by it's root word "resist" , resistance usually means the opposition presented to the current by a material or device .
This means that if the Voltage is increases the current also increases ,
If the Resistance increases then the current decreases .
Now how do we Calculate the voltage , and the Resistance ?
AS we can see in the triangle :
V= Voltage ; I = current and R= Resistance
therefore : Voltage is equal to Resistance times Amperes ( current )
or , V= I x R , Voltage is directly proportional to the current ( both increases )
therefore : Resistance is inversely proportional to the current ( if R increases , I decreases )
R= V divided by I [ R= V/ I ]
