Here's a breakdown:
* Voltage is the electrical potential difference between two points. It's the "push" that drives the flow of electric charge (current) through a conductor.
* Current is the flow of electric charge. Think of it as the amount of water flowing through a pipe.
* Resistance is the opposition to the flow of current. It's like the friction inside the pipe that slows the flow of water.
Analogy:
Imagine a water tank with a pipe leading to the bottom.
* Voltage is the height difference between the top of the tank and the pipe outlet. The higher the tank, the more pressure (voltage) there is to push the water out.
* Current is the flow rate of water through the pipe. More pressure (voltage) means more water flow (current).
* Resistance is the size of the pipe. A smaller pipe (higher resistance) means less water flow (current) even with the same pressure (voltage).
Key takeaway: Voltage is the driving force that causes current to flow. The higher the voltage, the stronger the push and the greater the current flow.
