Electricity does not flow through a circuit by itself. It needs a
push, or energy, to keep it moving. We call this energy the
voltage of the circuit. Voltage is measured in volts (v).
The German scientist George Ohm (1787-1854) is best
remembered for working out ohms law. He discovered that
they voltage across a conductor such as a trip of metal or a
wire and the current following through it always vary in the
same proportion. So if you double the voltage, you double the
current. This is incredibly useful; because it lets you predict
the current you will get for a particular voltage.
