Hello

Voltage is the difference in charge between the two  points.voltage is measure in volts.
Current is the rate at which charge is flowing
Current is measured in ampere.
Material's tendency to resist the flow of charge that is known as resistance.
Resistance is measured in ohm .
The relationship between voltage , current and resistance forms the basis of Ohm’s law. In a linear circuit of fixed resistance, if we increase the voltage, the current goes up, and similarly, if we decrease the voltage, the current goes down.
And if resistance increases, current goes down with given voltage. And if resistance decrease, current will increase.

Hope this helps

Good luck!!!

Dear student

Voltage, (V) is the potential energy of an electrical supply stored in the form of an electrical charge. Voltage can be thought of as the force that pushes electrons through a conductor and the greater the voltage the greater is its ability to push the electrons through a given circuit. As energy has the ability to do work this potential energy can be described as the work required in joules to move electrons in the form of an electrical current around a circuit from one point or node to another.

Electrical Current, ( I ) is the movement or flow of electrical charge and is measured in Amperes, symbol i, for intensity). It is the continuous and uniform flow (called a drift) of electrons (the negative particles of an atom) around a circuit that are being pushed by the voltage source. In reality, electrons flow from the negative (ve) terminal to the positive (+ve) terminal of the supply and for ease of circuit understanding conventional current flow assumes that the current flows from the positive to the negative terminal.

Resistance, (R) is the capacity of a material to resist or prevent the flow of current or, more specifically, the flow of electric charge within a circuit. The circuit element which does this perfectly is called the Resistor.

Resistance is a circuit element measured inOhms, (, Omega ) .

Hello student!!

  • Voltage is the difference in charge between two points.
Or The driving force (electrical pressure) behind the flow of a current is known as the voltage
It is measured in volts (V) (Voltage may also be referred to as the potential difference, or electromotive force).

  • Current is the rate at which charge is flowing.
It is measured in amperes (A)

  • Resistance is a material's tendency to resist the flow of charge (current).
the unit of resistance is the ohm ().
