the resistance.
voltage - ANSWER The potential difference measured in volts. The amount of work to be done to move a
charge from one point to another along an electric circuit.
Equivalent Resistor - ANSWER 39. What term identifies a single resistor that represents total resistance
of a complex circuit?
Resistors in Parallel - ANSWER 1/R=1/R₁+1/R₂+1/R₃+... V=V₁=V₂=...
power - ANSWER (physics) the rate of doing work
