Question

Difference between voltage and electric current. Are they equal or same?

Answer 1

There are different types of difference between current and voltage. Current and voltage are important concepts when it comes to electricity.

Current: 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.

1. Current is represent symbol I(Current).

2. Current is unit A or amps or amperage.

3. Current is measuring instrument of ammeter.

4. Current is the rate of flow of electricity across a given element.

5. Current is SI unit= ampere =1 coulomb/second.

6. It is created a magnetic field.

Voltage: 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.

1. Voltage is represent symbol V(Voltage).

2. Voltage is unit V or volts or voltage

3. Voltage is measuring instrument of Voltmeter.

4. Voltage is SI unit= volt = 1 joule/coulomb. (V=W/C)

5. It is created an electrostatic field.

6. Voltage is the difference in potential between two points
