Difference between CURRENT & VOLTAGE.?

AI Thread Summary
Current refers to the flow of electrons through a conductor per second, while voltage represents the potential difference in electric charge between two points. Voltage can be thought of as the force that pushes current through a circuit. Understanding this distinction is essential for grasping basic electrical concepts. The discussion emphasizes the importance of clear explanations for those less familiar with physics. Overall, the difference between current and voltage is foundational in understanding electrical systems.

Hi Guys.
Can U Tell Me The Difference Between Current & Voltage.?
Plz Guys, This Question May Be Funny To U.
But Plz Hlp Me By Answering Me In A Clear Way, As I Am Not A Genius In Physics
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Current is the number of electrons flowing through a wire per second. Voltage is kind of like the charge difference between two reservoirs of electrons. Some one else might be able to explain voltage a little better than myself.
 
THANK U VERY MUCH

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Egg Drop Challenge! Need ideas for winning designs'

I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
