    electric voltage
    What is electric current ?
    Electric Current is the rate of flow of electrons in a conductor. The SI unit of electric current is
    the Ampere(A).
    Electrons are negatively charged particles hence when they move, a number of charges moves ,
    and we call this movement of electrons as electric current.
    The magnitude of electric current is measured in couloms per second.
    Hence, 1 ampere = 1 coulomb / 1 second
    Current flows from positive terminal to the negative terminal.
    There are two types of electric current :
    1. Direct Current(DC) : In DC , the electric charge flows in one direction
    only, maintaining a constant polarity . Batteries and many electronic
    devices operate on DC .
    2. Alternating Current(AC) : In AC , the electric charge periodically
    reverses direction , changing polarity overtime . AC is commonly used in
    household electrical systems and is the type of current delivered by power
    plants to homes and businesses .

    What is electric voltage ?
    Voltage can be imagined as the difference in electric potential between two points in an electrical
    circuit. This difference in potential causes electric charges to move from a higher voltage point to
    a lower voltage point when a circuit is completed or connected .
    Voltage is measured in volts (V), and it's a fundamental concept in electricity and electronics,
    playing a crucial role in determining the flow of electric current in circuits
    The formula of voltage is V =IR
