Current measures the flow of electrons through a circuit and voltage basically measure the amount of available electrons.
Resistance is the ability to regulate the amount of charge flowing in a circuit.
It makes no difference whether the circuit is parallel, series or complex. The number of electrons travelling (or oscillating back and forth for AC) is determined by the current (amps). 1 amp = 1 coulomb/second. 1 coulomb = the charge represented by 6.24150962915265 x 1018 electrons. The current in each leg of a parallel circuit has to be worked out separately.
A resistor is a device that resists the flow of electricity in a circuit. It is used to control the amount of current flowing through the circuit by providing a specific amount of resistance.
An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing in a circuit
An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing through an electrical circuit. It measures amperage.
Strength of current refers to the amount of electric charge flowing through a circuit per unit of time. It is measured in amperes (A) and represents the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit. A higher current strength indicates a larger flow of charge through the circuit.
The quantity of electrons moving in a circuit depends on the amount of current flowing through it. One ampere of current corresponds to approximately 6.24 x 10^18 electrons passing through a point in one second. So, the number of electrons moving in a circuit is determined by the current flowing through it.
A variable resistor can be used to control the current in a circuit by adjusting its resistance. By changing the resistance value, the amount of current flowing through the circuit can be regulated.
Volts = Current x Resistance. The voltage is where the potential resides for the amount of current flowing through a resistance. Think about the voltage as a potential source of electrons that then flow through a circuit depending on the Load, or resistance in this example.
