# Glossary ## Volts Voltage ## Amperes Current ## Ohms Resistance ## Ohms Law $$ V = \frac{I}{R} $$ ## Impedance = Resistance for Nerds ## Current How many electrons flow through a circuit in a second ## Polarity Means if a component is symmetric or not Polarised means that a component is not symmetric ## Voltage Divider ## LED Anode - The shorter Leg Cathode - The longer Leg ## Diode ## Anode The positive end of a diode ## Cathode The negative end of a diode ## Conventional Current Flow When electricity was discovered people thought the electrons flow from the positive terminal to the negative, in actuality they flow in the opposite direction, but it is still possible to calculate the flow with the old way.
