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.
