Explain potential difference in terms of charge and
energy (B-A*)
Example:
V is voltage and is measured in volts. The volt
tells you how much energy each amount of
charge has. Energy is measured in joules and
charge is measured in coulombs. This means the
volt is the amount of joules for every coulomb.
Volts = joules per coulomb

R is resistance, it can be used to control the size
of the current in a circuit. It is measured in
ohms. The electrons feel a resistive force as
they try to move through a circuit.

Q is charge and is measured in coulombs (C). It
is a measure of how much charge something
has. An electron has a charge of -1.6x10-19 C.
Charge can be positive or negative.

P is power. It is measured in Watts (W) or
Joules per second (J/s or Js-1). It is the rate of
flow of energy.
