Current: the flow of charged particles from one point in a circuit to another. Expressed in amperes (Coulomb / second)
Voltage: The difference in electrical potential energy between two points in a circuit. Expressed in volts (Joules / second)
Resistance: The opposition to the flow of charged particles. Expressed in Ohms.

Practice exercise
A) An average refrigerator works on a voltage of 120 Volts. A normal resistance for a refrigerator can be 45 Ohm. Calculate the current flowing through a refrigerator that has these properties.
B) What would the resistance on a fridge that has the same voltage have to be if it has a current of 2.4 Ampere flowing through it?
