Resistor | an electric component that resists the flow of electricity. |
Ohms | the SI unit value that tells how strongly a resistor resists current flow. |
current | the rate at which electrons pass through a circuit. |
Amperes | a unit of electric current equal to a flow of one coulomb per second. |
Voltage | an electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts. |
Volts | the SI unit of electromotive force, the difference of potential that would drive one ampere of current against one ohm resistance. |
leads | wires coming out of an electric component. |
schematic symbols | a pictorial representation of an electrical component used on circuit diagrams. |
anode | the positive lead of an electrical component. |
cathode | the negative lead of an electrical component. |
