What is current and voltage?

Answer

Current is the flow of electrical charge through a conductor, measured in amperes (A). Think of it as the amount of water flowing through a pipe. Voltage is the electrical potential difference that pushes current through a circuit, measured in volts (V). It's like the water pressure that makes water flow. Together, they determine how electrical energy moves through a circuit.
