| 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. |
