| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is current | Flow of electrons |
| What is resistance | capacity to slow down the movement of current |
| What does voltage provide? | the energy that propels the current |
| What should voltmeter be hooked up to | in parallel with a resistor |
| What should ammeter be hooked up to | series with a resistor on the same branch |
| current | Energy moving in the wires |
| voltage | energy from the battery |
| conductor | allows current move through it |
| open circuit | not functioning circuit |
| closed circuit | allows current move through it |
