From Battery to Circuit

Today we learned how to use voltmeters and ammeters. Ammeters measures the current (Charge in coulombs/seconds). The amount of electrons passing through 1 point in a DC (direct current) in a period of time will equal the amount of electrons passing through any other point in the circuit within the same amount of time.The voltmeter measures volts, or the electric potential difference (energy required/charge in coulumbs).


How electrons flow from battery to circuit.
