Week 6 - Circuits, Power and the Electromotive
... Would it also be appropriate to put a label on batteries stating how much current they provide? Why or why not? Answer: No it would not. Because how much current depends on the kind of circuit the battery is connected to. In the case of being used in a flash light, it depends on the luminous resisto ...

Intro to circuits
... • Voltage is the pull on the charge as it moves around the circuit. • The unfortunately named Electromotive Force (EMF) is equivalent to voltage. • It was thought at one point that there is a ‘force’ that pushes the current around the circuit. This ‘force’ is actually a voltage, not a force. ...
