Describe the interrelationship among current, voltage, and resistance.

Description should include

  • explaining how current in a circuit depends on the amount of voltage available to move electrons while resistance opposes electron flow
  • explaining why the amount of electrical current through a metal conductor in a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage impressed across it.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • How are current, voltage, and resistance related?
  • How does resistance affect the movement of free electrons?
  • What are the standard units of measurement for current, voltage, and resistance?
