This document provides essential definitions for voltage and current, crucial concepts in physics. Voltage is defined as the difference in electrical potential energy between two points, measured in volts (Joules per Coulomb). Current refers to the flow of charged particles, typically electrons, and is measured in amperes (Coulombs per second). These foundational definitions are vital for students' understanding of electricity and are accompanied by a suggestion to use website simulations for exploring parallel and series lamps.

Presentation Transcript
Useful definitions for our workbooks: Voltage is defined as a difference in the electrical potential energies between two places. Current is defined as the flow or movement of charged particles (usually electrons). Voltage is measured in Volts (Joules per Coulomb) Current is measured in Amperes, Amps or Coulombs per second
