AC- (BIDIRECTIONAL) goes in two direction ( nikola tesla)

+alternates back and forth.
DC- (UNIDIRECTIONAL) only goes one way (thomas alva edison)

CURRENT = AMPERE (AMP,AMPS)
6.24x10^18 electrons flowing through a certain point per second.
1 coulomb=the charges on 6.24x10^18 electrons.

VOLTAGE is the difference in electrical potential energy, per unit of charge,

between 2 points.
(pushing force) of current
VOLTAGE = POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE = TENSION etc.

ENERGY is measured in (JOULES) 1 joule/coulomb x 1.8 coulombs/second =

1.8 joules/second

OHMs LAW
V=IxR
R=V/I
I=V/R
V=VOLTS I=CURRENT in amps R=RESISTANCE in ohms
