Current and Voltage are not the same thing. Think of voltage as the
rate of flow in terms of speed. Current is the power behind the flow.


Or even visa-Versa. Voltage is the push. Current is the amount of
electricity.


Say a Mack truck is moving at 5 mph and it hits your car...disaster

If a bicycle hits your car at 5 mph..then there is a scratch. Thats the
diff between current and voltage!

Here the voltage (5mph) is the same, but the current (mass of the
truck/bike) are different.
