More specifically, I understand what they are (Voltage is the guide of electricity and Current is the speed of the flow), but I’m having trouble understanding their relation. For example: in a hypothetical scenario where I have a 220v source that outputs 1amp through an uncovered wire, since the voltage is only the guide of electricity, would it be safe to touch?
I also may be wring about the definition of Voltage and Current all together.
All help is appreciated! THX!

A voltage source doesn’t provide a fixed amount of voltage and current. The amount of current depends on the resistance that is connected. Look up Ohms law and how to use it.
>would it be safe to touch?
A high voltage hurts, but current kills. Only about 300ma (milli amp) passing through the heart is enough to kill. How much current passes through your body depends on the resistance of your body. It’s normally very high (kila ohm), but depends on the path
