-
Volts: The pressure of a charge or electrons that want to move through a circuit, as measured in the force required to hold back the charged particles (potential energy measured in Joules) times the number of charged particles (electrons) measured in Coulombs.
-
Amps: (Current, I) Rate of flow of charge measured in electrons (Coulombs) per sec.
-
Resistance: Amount of resistance to electron flow, measured in Ohms. Resistors limit amperage, but not voltage.
V = I x R
Since you are usally powering your circuit with a source with a stable voltage (for instance a 9V battery), the amount of current flowing through the circuit depends on the amount of resistance provided by components in the circuit.
If there is a lot of resistance, the current (amps, I in the equation) will be low.
Current is the same everywhere in a circuit.
Voltage is not the same everywhere in a circuit, it is always the voltage of the power supply at the beginning of the circuit, and 0V at ground. Voltage drops across components, but it remains the same across the entire length of a wire.
- 00-simpleLED Wire up an LED and write code to make it blink.
- 01-pwmLED Use pulse width modulation to fade an LED.
