SESSION SUMMARY

 Electrical circuit requires cell, switch, wire and resistance

 The cell is pushing up the current to goes around the circuit.
 The switch is used to closed the path for the current to continuously flows around the
metal path
 The voltmeter is used to measure the voltage
 The ammeter is used to measure the current
 The ohmmeter is used to measure the resistance.
 Color coding is a tool to determine the value and tolerance of resistor without using
an ohmmeter.
