To avoid any confusion, i'll correct your mistakes.


What are the letters to represent:
Current - I
Charge
Voltage - V
Amper
Coulomb
Volt
Energy - kj/cal or something like that? Although the calorie is a unit for energy, the SI unit for energy is the joule, with the symbol J

What are the following measured in:
Current - Amps
Charge -
Voltage - Volts
Energy - Joules, Kilojoules? a kilojoule is just 1000 joules. The joule is the SI unit

Questions:
Current is the flow of...
We measure current with a... ampmeter? close. it's ammeter, not ampmeter
Current is the same everywhere in a...
