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
