OCR: COULOMB The coulomb a measure of electrical charge single coulomb 16 equal to the electrical charge transferred by a1 ampere curren in one second AMPERE The ampere (A) measurement of current, where current 15 the amount of charge that Hows OHM component' opposition to the flow ofa charge called resistance. Resistance measured in ohms () VOLT The voltage (or potential difference) between two points 16 the work that must be done to move each coulomb of charge from one point to the other. One volt V of potential difference across resistance of1 creates current of1A WATT watt 1 measurement of the electrical power of device If there .. potential difference of1 across device and current of1A flowing through it then the device operating at power of1 watt (W JOULE joule is a measurement of work an ...
