Q1. What is current
Ans. 
Current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit.
• Current is measured in Amperes (A)

• It is the rate of flow of electric charge through a conductor

• Current can be either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC)

• In a series circuit, the current remains the same throughout

• Ohm's Law relates current, voltage, and resistance: I = V/R

Q2. What is voltage
Ans. 
Voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit, measured in volts.
• Voltage is the force that pushes electric current through a circuit

• It is measured in volts (V)

• Voltage is the potential difference between two points in a circuit

• Higher voltage means more potential energy available to move electrons

• Voltage can be DC (direct current) or AC (alternating current)
