Voltage, Current, Resistance, and Power

Turn formulas into intuition: voltage pushes, current flows, resistance limits, and power becomes heat or work.

Page highlights

  • Use V=I×R and P=V×I to explain loads.
  • Understand why current and heating are tightly related.
  • Connect meter readings with circuit state.
  • Voltage is the pushing difference; current is what actually flows through the load.
  • More power means more energy per unit time, so heating matters.
  • A load is not abstract; it is a lamp, heater, motor, or charger.
