What is voltage?

265 viewsOtherPhysics

I’ve heard the definitions of it being “energy transferred per charge”, “potential difference”, and “the difference between the electrons in the positive and negative terminals of a battery” but I still don’t really understand some of these definitions, and can’t really wrap my head around what exactly is it.

I also don’t really get how it is the thing that can “power up” a circuit (I might have misunderstood this part” and how the definitions above can be the same thing

It’s equivalent to electrical pressure. The higher the voltage, the more current that can be “pushed” through a resistive path
