To get them to move in the same direction they need a push. The technical term for this push is electromotive force, abbreviated EMF, or sometimes simply E. But you know it more commonly as voltage.- Voltage is the force that causes electrical current to flow.
- Current, or amperage, refers to the rate electricity is flowing.
- Resistance is a material’s tendency to resist the flow of the current.
- Conductivity refers […]
