This book discusses why electrical resistance happens and how it can be overcome for electricity to flow. There will be three important terms that will be defined: volts, ohms and electrical resistance. If your child learner is able to understand these terms and the theories behind them now, then the topic of electricity and magnetism will make better sense later on.
