Explaining circuits

1. V is electromotive force which we measure in volts.
2. R is resistance which we measure in ohms, and the symbol for ohms is the omega symbol.
3. I is intensity and that is our current flow that we measure in amps.
4. For now, we're (only) going to focus on using (three) simple formulas.
5. We can determine how many amps we have by dividing our volts by our resistance.
6. We can determine how many ohms we should have by dividing our voltage by our current.
7. We can determine how many volts we should have by multiplying current times resistance
8. By knowing two values we can calculate the unknown value, in this case our unknown value is...
9. As we want to find out how many amps are going to flow through our circuit, we take our voltage and divide it by our resistance
