Flys and Maggots

Flys and maggots are pests and insects. Flys are the fully grown form of a maggot. They tend to lay their eggs on carcasses and other dead things, so that when the eggs hatch, the maggots will eat the dead carcass.

Flys are flying insects that try to annoy you by getting on your food. Everyone hates them.

Amperes

The amp is a shortened version of the word amperes. Amperes was also the discoverer of the amp, thus the name.

Amps are a unit of measurement, represented with the symbol A in a circuit diagram, that measures the flow of electrons in an electrical unit. You can measure amps using an amp meter, which is represented with the letter A in a circle, with a + sign to the side of it, on a circuit diagram.

Some scientific laws use the amp, including Ohm's Law. This tells us that the flow, divided by the voltage, is how many ohms there are in a circuit. The flow is represented with I, the voltage with V and the resistance with R. This is the formula for it:

V divided by I is equal to R.
R = How many ohms there are. Example:
If there are 3 amperes and 60 volts, then there would be 20 Ohms as the resistance:-

60/3=20
