Example - Power is an electrical quantity and it is represented in equations using the letter P. It's base unit is Watts and is represented after quantities with W. I can describe the power a lightbulb uses as P = 40 W.

Match the electrical quantity (voltage, current, resistance) with its base unit symbol (what you put after a number:

What should should happen to current in a circuit if voltage remains the same and resistance increases?

1

What should a circuit designer do to make an LED brighter in a circuit while keeping the same total voltage in the circuit?

1

You must place a resistor in before an LED in order to control the amount of current going to the LED. Putting a resistor after the LED will have no impact and will cause the LED to burnout.
