13 Voltage Current

This document discusses voltage, current, and conductors and insulators. It explains that voltage is potential energy and a potential difference is required for current to flow as electrons move from the outer ring of one atom to another. Current is measured in Coulombs, defined as 6.242 x 1018 electrons, and is calculated using the equation Q=It. Common voltage sources and good conductors such as copper are also identified based on their atomic structure and number of valence electrons.
