Ohm’s law
In 1826, Ohm published details experiment had done investi-
gate the relationship between the current passing through and the poten-
tial difference between the ends wire. This also called the volt drop terminal voltage,

To cause current flow continuously around circuit, driving force
is required, just circulating pump required drive water around a
