Hopefuly we are able to explain the Basic Principles and Measurement of Electricity in more simple Terms
The flow or movement of these electrons is called the electric current. There are two forms of current:
The rate of current flowing in the conductor (wire or cable) is measured in Amperes (Amps). Very small current is measured in Miliamps (mA).
The higher the electrical 'potential difference' is along the conductor the higher the current is. The potential difference is measured in Volts.
The poorer the conductor, the higher the resistance is to the electrical current and the lower the current becomes. This resistance is measured in ohms.
To reduce the possibility of electric shock, electric supply and every circuit must be solidly connected to earth. This means that if a fault or break in the circuit occurs, the current will flow directly to earth, this is known as earthing.

We recently appointed Bright Spark Electrical Services for upgrading our home electrics. Initially their quotation submitted was very professional, every detail of work to be carried out was itemised. The work was completed very efficiently and very speedily. In fact a good tidy electrical job. I believe in giving credit where it is due I would recommend Bright Spark Electrical Services not only for the work completed in my home, but also for their impressive record, which can be easily checked.
I was very pleased with the quick response and the job was successfully done by a nice Tradesman the cost was competitive And will call this company to carry out any further work.
I needed a job done really 'sooner rather than later' and at a weekend too! Karen came out, assessed what needed to be done and set to work straight away. Job done, cleared up and on her way within the hour! Not often you get that service! Certainly will keep her number on my mobile and recommend to anyone who needs an electrical job done!
We couldn’t single out any one person as they’re all great. Joe was very helpful today and made a lovely neat job of the work. We wouldn’t use any other company. Best wishes. Carolyn
After moving house I had a lot of electrical work needed doing. Bright Sparks made a very good job of it all and has left me confident in the electrics in the house. The work consisted of a new fuse box, new lights, switches and plugs etc. The work was carried out in a clean, pleasant manner. I would definitely recommend this company. Margaret C
