Electric current
Conducting wire is connected to a
battery
Charges (positive and negative) are
compelled to move
This movement creates electric current

Direct current
A direct current (dc) is a current that remains constant with time
Alternative current
An alternative current (ac) is a current that varies sinusoidally
with time

Total power supplied to the circuit must be equal to the total
power absorbed.
Energy
Energy is the capacity to do work, measure in Joules (J)
