current
the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit, measured in amperes (A)
charge
a fundamental property of matter that causes an object to experience a force in an electric field; charge exists in two forms, positive and negative, and is measured in units called coulombs (C)
ammeter
a device used to measure the current in a circuit, connected in series with the components
series ciruit
a circuit where components are connected one after another so the same current flows through each component
coulomb
the unit of electric charge; one coulomb is the amount of charge that passes a point in a circuit when there is a current of one ampere for one second
