• 1 Watt Hour: 3600 Joules
• Charge of an Electron: 1.6x10^{-19}C
• Current: the rate of flow of charge
• Ampere: measurement of current
• Voltage: pressure / amount of energy to move charge between two points
• Amps are measured through a medium
• Voltage is measured across a medium
• Ohms law: Voltage = Resistance * Current (I)
• Power: Voltage * Current (I)
• Joules: Power (watts) multiplied by time (seconds)
• Joules can also be integrated as power across moments of time
• Power: rate that work is done, in watts.
