This is the concept map we created to summarize this entire unit :) Below lists some of the most important terms you must know for this unit.
Series Circuit - a complete circuit with all the loads/resistors connected in a continuous connection, if one load/point is removed or damaged, the entire circuit fails.
Electron Flow - the flow of electrons (-) in a circuit from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
Conventional Current - the flow of protons (+) from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.
Coulombs (Q) - the measurement of the number of electrons, in the unit of C
Current (I)- the measurement of electron flow using an ammeter in the unit of A (Amperes)
in the formula I= Q/t
Voltage(V) - a measurement of electric potential energy between two points in the unit of V (Volts). This is calculated by the formula V= E/Q, where E is the energy required to increase the electric potential of a charge, Q.
Resistance (R) - is the measurement of the opposition to flow, measure in the unit 
, this is calculated by the formula R = V/I.
, this is calculated by the formula R = V/I.Ohm's Law - this law presents a significant relationship between resistance, voltage, and current. Voltage and current displays a linear relationship to each other, and the slope remains constant in the same graph. The slope is the resistance of a circuit, which do not change under variations of voltage/current.
Kirchhoff's current law - The total amount of current into a junction point of a circuit equals the total current that flows out of that same junction.
Kirchhoff's voltage law - The total of all electrical potential decreases in any complete circuit loop is equal to any potential increases in that circuit loop.
Power - the rate which work is being down, can be calculated by the equation P = IV
