Dear friend,

Voltage is the difference in charge between two points. Whereas, Current is the rate at which charge is flowing. Resistance is a material's tendency to resist the flow of charge (current).

Hope it helps !!!

V

Definition

Current is the rate at which electric charge flows past a point in a circuit. In other words, current is the rate of flow of electric charge.

Voltage, also called electromotive force, is the potential difference in charge between two points in an electrical field. In other words, voltage is the "energy per unit charge”.

Unit

A or amps or amperage

V or volts or voltage

Relationship

Current is the effect (voltage being the cause). Current cannot flow without Voltage.

Voltage is the cause and current is its effect. Voltage can exist without current.

Measuring Instrument

Ammeter

Voltmeter

SI Unit

1 ampere =1 coulomb/second.

1 volt = 1 joule/coulomb. (V=W/C)

Field created

A magnetic field

An electrostatic field

In series connection

Current is the same through all components connected in series.

Voltage gets distributed over components connected in series.

In a parallel connection

Current gets distributed over components connected in parallel.

Voltages are the same across all components connected in parallel.
