electrons move through the wire toward the _______ charge and away from the _______ charge

holds an electrical potential

an example of a power source

the relationship between the electrical potential and the resistance offered by the battery and the wire

the equation for Ohm's Law

character that represents electric potential

character that represents positive current measured in dq/dt

character that represents resistance measured in Ohms

goes in the opposite direction of negative current flow

represents the potential in volts

represents the current

the rate of positive charge transferred per unit time

electrons move out of the _______ end of the battery

this is determined by positive charge flow

some say that the confusion regarding how current is determined can be attributed to _______ _______ for misidentifying the positive and negative terminals of a battery

positive current is the direction of positive current flow, but _______ are actually flowing in the opposite direction

there is no difference between a positive current and a _______ _______ in the other direction

this stops the flow of electrons

no more electrons will exit the battery if the circuit is _______
