    What is the difference between current and voltage ???


    And the electricity we have at home , doe it come in form of current or voltage ?????

    Current is the rate at which electric charge flows past a point in a circuit.Voltage is the electrical force that would drive an electric current between two points.

    Thx Mate

    Here is an expansion on ROMOS’ answer:

    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”.


    Symbol
    I
    V


    Unit
    A or amps or amperage
    V or volts or voltage


    SI Unit
    1 ampere =1 coulomb/second.
    1 volt = 1 joule/coulomb. (V=W/C)


    Measuring Instrument
    Ammeter
    Voltmeter


    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.


    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.

    Really just a line in between the two and your answer is completely satisfying me :)
