It’s what my mum did for me (she hates ironing), and it will save you oodles of time and they look basically the same as any other shirtPlease get your kids non-iron shirts for school.

I’ve always found that when explaining electricity people always start with current and voltage, then use that to derive energy, power, charge, etc. But I find those quantities more “real” so I’ll start with them.
Charge
Charge is just a quantity particles have which causes them to repel particles of the like charge. In electrical circuits, the particle moving about is the electron, so you can just think of charge as some number of electrons. The usual unit for charge is the Coulomb (C) which is approximately 6 quintillion electrons worth of charge.
Energy
Energy is really hard to describe, so I’m just going to assume that you understand a typical idea of energy. Energy is measured in Joules
Power
Power is the amount of energy being used in a given time (the rate of energy usage). Power is measured in watts, which equals one Joule per second (1 J / s). I assume this is what you got confused with with “per time”. The quantity of power is measured as “energy per time” whereas the specific unit the Watt is given as “1 Joule per second”.
Current
In an electric circuit, charges flow round the circuit. These charges are moving round at a constant speed, so through a point a set number of charges pass per unit time. Current measures this flow of charge and its unit is the Ampere (Amp) defined as one Coulomb per second (1 C / s)
Voltage
Voltage is the “strength” with which charges are pushed round the circuit. It’s defined as the energy per unit charge being pushed. A volt measures voltage and is defined as 1 Joule per Coulomb (1 J / C)
It’s important to note that voltage is used to refer to two similar concepts that mean slightly different things.
The first is the electromotive force (emf). This is what I defined earlier as the “strength” being used to push the electrons around. This comes from a battery or a generator.
Second is the voltage “used” by components. When a current flows through a component in a circuit, the component uses some energy, and as voltage is the amount of energy per charge, it “uses” some voltage. Typically you wouldn’t say it like this, you’d usually say there’s a potential difference, which is just a synonym for voltage.
Because voltage is energy per charge, it needs to be conserved, so the amount of voltage provided by a power supply is used up completely by all the components of the circuit. So if there is one component, the potential difference over the component is equal to the emf provided by the power supply. If there are multiple, then the emf provided is equal to the sum of the potential differences across all the components (how this is distributed is determined by their resistances)Bonus
I doubt this will be useful to OP, but I like thinking in terms of equations, so here are the points I made earlier in equation form.
V = E/Q
I = Q/t
P = E/t = IV
E = IVt
sum of V = 0
Vcomponent/Vtotal = Rcomponent/Rtotal
V = IR -

You’re misremembering, the Jedi had already existed for millennia before the Great Hyperspace war and Great Sith war. The great hyperspace war was between the old republic and the Sith empire in the first encounter between their regions of the galaxy. By this point both the Jedi and Sith (the race not the cult) were well established in their respective regions (This is ~5000 BBY).
The idea of “Sith” as dark jedi only became popular after Revan and Malak adopted the titles of Sith Lord. Even Exar Kun didn’t refer to himself as a Sith Lord.
Also while the ruins on Yavin 4 were built by Massasi (the Sith Warrior Caste), they were built when they were enslaved under Exar Kun, rather than by the Sith Empire.
Technically, the New Sith wars (which take place about 400 years after the Exar Kun) are the only piece of Legends media still being developed as part of The Old Republic MMO.
