The resistor is a passive
electrical component that
creates resistance in the flow
of electric current.
A conductor, or electrical
conductor, is a substance or
material that allows electricity
to flow through it.
Charge is an elementary
characteristics of matter, all
particles have a charge, even if
that charge is zero.
Voltage is the pressure from
an electrical circuit’s power
source that pushes charged
electrons (current) through a
conducting loop, enabling
them to do work such as
illuminating a light.
When current is flowing ,
components such as resistors
consume energy, and the
amount of work per unit
charge associated with the
current flowing through a
given component is the
component’s voltage drop.
The difference in potential
between two points that
represents the work involved
or the energy released in the
transfer of a unit quantity of
electricity from one point to
the other.
Resistor
A resistor is an electrical
component that limits or
regulates the flow of electrical
current in an electronic
circuit.
Conductor
Conductors are materials that
permit electrons to flow freely
from particle to particle.
Charge
An electrical property of the
atomic particles of which
matter consists, measured in
coulombs.
Voltage
Voltage describes the
“pressure” that pushes
electricity. The amount of
voltage is indicated by a unit
known as the Volt (V), and
higher voltages cause more
electricity to flow to an
electronic device.
Voltage drop
Voltage drop is defined as the
amount of voltage loss that
occurs through all or part of a
circuit due to impedance.
Potential difference
The difference in the amount
of energy that charge carries
have between two points in a
circuit.

Electric power measures the
rate of electrical energy
transfer by an electric circuit
per unit of time. Electric
power is commonly supplied
by electric batteries and
produced by electric
generators.
Electrical energy is the energy
generated by the movement of
electrons from one point to
another.
Electric current, any
movement of electric charge
carries, such as subatomic
charged particles, ions, or
holes.
Power dissipation in the resistor
Any resistor in a circuit that P (power) = I (current) * V
has a voltage drop across it
dissipates electrical power.
This electrical power is
converted into heat energy
hence all resistors have a
power rating.
A semiconductor is a
substance possessing an
electrical conductivity
somewhere between that of a serve as a foundation for
conductor and that of an
insulator.
Electrical Power
Electric power is
characterized by current or
the flow of electric charge and
voltage or potential of charge
to deliver energy.
Electrical Energy
Electrical energy is energy
related to forces on
electrically charged particles
and the movement of
electrically charged particles.
Electrical energy is usually
sold by the kilowatt hour
which is the product of the
power in kilowatts multiplied
by running time in hours.
Electrical Current
Electric current in a wire,
where the charge carries are
electrons, is a measure of the
quantity of charge passing any
point of the wire per unit of
time.
(voltage) therefor, to calculate
the power dissipated by the
resistor, the formulas are as
follows: P (power dissipated)
= I2 (current) * R (resistance)
or P (power dissipated) = V2
(voltage) / R (resistance).
Semi-conductor
Semiconductors is a substance
that has specific electrical
properties that enable it to
computers and other
electronic devices.

A battery is the generic name
for a unit that creates
electrical energy from stored
chemical energy.
Is the direction flow of
electrons from one pole to the
other.
An inductor, also called a coil[,
choke, or reactor, is a passive
two-terminal electrical
component that stores energy
in a magnetic field when
electric current flows through
it.
A capacitor is a passive
electronic component that
consists of two conductive
plates separated by an
insulating dielectric
Battery
Batteries accept, store, and
release electricity on demand
Polarity
Polarity refers to the positive
or negative conductors within
a dc circuit, or the Line and
Neutral conductor within an
ac circuit.
Inductor
Inductors slow down current
surges or spikes by
temporarily storing energy in
an electro-magnetic field and
then releasing it back into the
circuit.
Capacitor
A capacitor is a passive
electronic component that
stores energy in the form of an
electrostatic field.
