thanks you were very helpful. I am going to now read everything you said and try to put it all together.

So when my book says the "voltage drop as we go from higher potential A to lower potential B across the resistor is equal to Current X Resistance" , it is actually talking about the magnitude of the change in potential? Not the actual change in potential as the words "voltage drop" seems to...

sorry I am not very good at this but let's say I have a battery with + and - terminals and I put a wire between them. So now I am guessing the electrons flow from the - terminal to the + terminal through the wire. Now let's say I choose the the direction of the flow of the electrons as the...

cool that was very helpful but how can one talk about the magnitude of ChangeInPotential when current in the formula can be negative?

lets say I have a direct current circuit and i have a battery with + and - terminals with a wire between them and i have electrons flowing from the negative terminal to the positive terminal through the wire. Is the current in this case a positive value or a negative value? and now let's say...

lets say my circuit is a direct circuit and I have a battery with plus and minus terminals connected to a load resistance. there are also wires between the load resistance and the battery terminals. And let's say 1) I go along the wire starting from the plus terminal all the way to the...

In a direct current circuit, when is a current negative and when is it positive.

hi, in the formula ChangeInPotential = Current X Resistance (formula for change in potential across a resistor) , if the resistor has two ends (point A and point B), how do I know wether it is the change in potential from point A to point B or from point B to point A
