Here's how it works:
* Voltage is the electrical potential difference between two points. Think of it as the "pressure" that drives the flow of electrons.
* Current is the flow of electrical charge, typically carried by electrons, through a conductor.
* Resistance is the opposition to the flow of current.
Voltage creates an electric field within the conductor, which exerts a force on the electrons. This force causes the electrons to move, creating an electrical current.
Think of it like this:
* Imagine a water pipe. The water pressure is like voltage. The water flowing through the pipe is like current. The pipe's diameter and material are like resistance. Higher pressure (voltage) makes the water flow faster (higher current) through the pipe, and narrower or rougher pipes (higher resistance) slow the flow down.
Key takeaway: Voltage is the driving force behind electrical current. It's the electrical pressure that pushes electrons through conductors.
