Amperes, often referred to as amps, is the unit of electric current. It measures the rate at which electric charges flow through a conductor.

Voltage (V): Voltage is the potential difference between two points in an electric circuit and represents the driving force that pushes charges to move.
Resistance (R): Resistance is a property of materials that opposes the flow of electric current. It determines how much voltage is needed to produce a certain amount of current.
Ohm's Law: Ohm's Law states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across it and inversely proportional to its resistance.
