Ohm's Law is V = IR, where V = voltage, I = current, and R = resistance.

A parallel circuit comprises branches so that the current divides and only part of it flows through any branch

A continuous and directed flow of negative charges (i.e. electrons) through a wire is called electric current.

We can define power as the rate of doing work, it is the work done in unit time.

electric circuit, path for transmitting electric current.

The difference in charge between higher potential and lower potential is called a voltage or potential difference

A series circuit is one in which every component is arranged in a series connection.

Resistance is defined as the property of the conductor which opposes the flow of electric current.

The current flowing through each component combines to form the current flow through the source.

In physics, electric power measures the rate of electrical energy transfer by an electric circuit per unit of time.
