Series Circuit - in series circuits, all components are connected in series so that they all share the same current

Circuit - An electronic circuit is composed of individual electronic components through which electric current can flow.

Parallel Circuit - in parallel circuits, components are connected in parallel so that they all have the same potential difference between them.

Voltage - Potential energy difference across a component; Represented by the variable "v"

Current - Flow of charge or electricity throughout the circuit; Represented by the variable "i"

Resistance - The amount the current is slowed or resisted through a component; Represented by variable "r" and units are ohms (Ω ). Can be solved for in a series circuit by using the equation rtot = r1 + r2 + r3 and in a parallel circuit, 1/rtot = 1/r1 + 1/r2 + 1/r3.

Ohm's Law - A law that states that the potential difference (voltage) across an ideal conductor is proportional to the current through it; V = ir

Power - The rate electrical energy is transferred through a circuit; Represented by variable "p" and units is watts (W).

Void Setup - A function created at the top of a program which runs the code one time.

Void Loop - Same as Void Setup except code is going to loop instead of running once

pinMode - A function to configure the port as an input or an output.

digitalWrite - A command which tells a port to go HIGH or LOW (on or off)

//comments - an explanation of the code of a program

delay - A time delay
