Here's why:
* Voltage is the electrical potential difference between two points. This difference creates an electric field that pushes electrons from the higher potential to the lower potential.
* Current is the flow of electrons. A higher voltage difference means a stronger electric field, which in turn results in a higher current (more electrons flowing).
Think of it like this:
* Voltage is like the pressure in a water pipe.
* Current is like the amount of water flowing through the pipe.
The higher the pressure (voltage), the more water (current) flows.
