What is the diffrewnce between Voltage and Current?

284 views

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!

(I’m 14 and learing about electronics on the internet. English is also NOT my first language)

Voltage means how much the electricity wants to flow. How strong the ”push“ is. It also exists without a circuit.

Current means how much electricity flows when you have some kind of circuit.

You can visualize very good with pipes and water. It is the same principle.
