I have a very basic way of understanding things. Sometimes I over-complicate and sometimes i make it way too simple so I am hoping someone can help me judge my understanding of basic electricity. I am in school to be an Aircraft Mechanic and am working part time at an aircraft repair station where I do some Avionics installations.

In school I have learned that

Ohms = resistance (opposition of current to flow is how I understand this ) Watts = Electrical Power ( What is powering the system ) Voltage = Electrical Pressure ( In my head this is what controls the rate that current flows through the system attempting to return to ground ) Amperes = Current (This is the flow of electricity through the system but I am a little fuzzy on this compared to voltage because to me they seem like the same thing.
