The Test was easy , quantitative ability was quite difficult but overall test was easy.
Current is the flow of electric charge, voltage is the electric potential difference, power is the rate at which work is done, and resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current.
Current is measured in amperes (A)
Voltage is measured in volts (V)
Power is measured in watts (W)
Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω)
Ohm's law relates these concepts: V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance
