Voltage vs. Current

Voltagenoun

(physics) The difference in electrostatic potential between two points in space, especially between live and neutral conductors or the earth.

Voltagenoun

Electric potential or potential difference, expressed in volts.

Voltagenoun

the rate at which energy is drawn from a source that produces a flow of electricity in a circuit; expressed in volts

Voltagenoun

the difference in electrical charge between two points in a circuit expressed in volts

Voltage

Voltage, electric potential difference, electromotive force (emf), electric pressure or electric tension is the difference in electric potential between two points, which (in a static electric field) is defined as the work needed per unit of charge to move a test charge between the two points. In the International System of Units, the derived unit for voltage (potential difference) is named volt.

Currentnoun

The part of a fluid that moves continuously in a certain direction.

Currentnoun

(electricity) The time rate of flow of electric charge.

Currentnoun

A tendency or a course of events.

Currentadjective

Existing or occurring at the moment.

Currentadjective

Generally accepted, used, practiced, or prevalent at the moment.

Currentadjective

(obsolete) Running or moving rapidly.

Currentadjective

Running or moving rapidly.

Currentadjective

Now passing, as time; as, the current month.

Currentadjective

Passing from person to person, or from hand to hand; circulating through the community; generally received; common; as, a current coin; a current report; current history.

Currentadjective

Commonly estimated or acknowledged.

Currentadjective

Fitted for general acceptance or circulation; authentic; passable.

Currentnoun

A flowing or passing; onward motion. Hence: A body of fluid moving continuously in a certain direction; a stream; esp., the swiftest part of it; as, a current of water or of air; that which resembles a stream in motion; as, a current of electricity.

Currentnoun

General course; ordinary procedure; progressive and connected movement; as, the current of time, of events, of opinion, etc.

Currentnoun

a flow of electricity through a conductor;

Currentnoun

Currentadjective

occurring in or belonging to the present time;

Currentadjective

belonging to the present time; happening or being used or done now

Currentadjective

in common or general use

Currentnoun

a body of water or air moving in a definite direction, especially through a surrounding body of water or air in which there is less movement

Currentnoun

a flow of electricity which results from the ordered directional movement of electrically charged particles

Currentnoun

a quantity representing the rate of flow of electric charge, usually measured in amperes

Currentnoun

the general tendency or course of events or opinion
