what’s the difference between current and voltage
In: 9
Current is how much charge is flowing past a point each second, voltage is how much potential that charge has to do work.
Power is voltage times current, so you can get the same amount of power with high voltage, low current – or high current, low voltage.
High voltage, low current means there isn’t a lot of charge, but it has lots of potential energy. High current, low voltage means there’s lots of charge with low potential energy. Same amount of power, two different ways to get there
