I'm trying to simulate this in my head in order to understand this, but somehow I'm thrown into a loop.
I'm writing an IT study guide down, and gathering all sorts of data related to the subject. Attempting to sum up what I wrote down about electricity:
Power: rate of energy/electricity transferral.
Energy: rate/speed of an electric charge
Voltage: difference between two points. Are these points ambiguous charges?
Charge: Isn't this when electricity is activated?
Electron: Electrons are subatomic, or particles smaller than an atom (the defining structure of an element, can't be broken down by any chemicals), it is a particle with a negative charge. (Don't even understand what electrons, atoms, or the basic definition of subatomic means.
Circuit: Directs the flow of current?
Amps/amperage: Tried reading online definitions, (like the wiki) but it's too advanced for me to grasp. Apparently this is how the strength of current is determined, which is all I know.
Current: Flow of energy?
Capacitor: Unit where energy is stored electrostatically in an electrical field? What are the basic summaries of an electrical field and electrostatics?
Resistance: Opposition towards..?
I might add more later, but for now I am speculating and trying to fine-tune these definitions to implement into my study guide.
I'm trying to achieve compTIA A+ certification by the end of this year, and I need to understand much of this in order to have a well-rounded understanding.
(Yes, for the record, I am attending a technical school class dedicated to IT/networking)
