\t1DefinitionVoltage, also called electromotive force is simply the energy per unit charge. In other words, voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points.Current is just the rate of flow of electric charge. In simple words, the current is the rate at which electric charge flows in a circuit at a particular point.2UnitThe SI unit of voltage is Volts (V). Note:\xa01 Volt= 1 Joule/coulomb.The SI unit of current is Ampere (A). Note:\xa01 Ampere = 1 coulomb/second.3DenotationVoltage is denoted by “V”.Current is denoted by “I”.4Measuring InstrumentVoltage can be measured by using a Voltmeter.Current can be measured by using an Ammeter.5Inter-relationVoltage is the cause of the current.Current is the effect of the voltage i.e. current cannot flow without voltage.6FormulaOne of the formulas to calculate voltage is: V= Work done/ChargeOne of the formulas to calculate current is: I= Charge/ Time7LossThe loss of voltage occurs due to impedance.The loss of current occurs due to the passive elements.8Field CreatedVoltage creates an electrostatic field.Current creates a magnetic field.9Change in a Series ConnectionIn a series connection, voltage changes i.e. it gets distributed over all the components.In a series connection, the current remains the same through all the components.10Change in a Parallel ConnectionIn a parallel connection, the voltage remains the same across all the components.In a parallel connection, current changes i.e. it gets distributed over all components.\t
