The continuous flow of electric charge is an electric
current. There are 2 types of electric current: direct
current and alternating current.

Ohm’s Law
Calculating Resistance
The SI unit of resistance is the ohm, Ω, which is
equal to volts per ampere.
Resistance, R is measured in ohm’s Ω.
Current, I is measured in amperes, A.
Voltage, V is measured in volts, V.
