FAC Electricity

The steady flow of electrons through a circuit.

• Current

• Voltage
• Resistance
• Capacitance

the "push" or potential difference that drives electrical current through a circuit

• Voltage
• Current
• Resistance
• Capacitance

how much an object slows down or stops the flow of electricity.

• Current
