Voltage is the difference of electrical potential between two points of an electrical network, expressed in volts . It is a measure of the capacity of an electric field to cause an electric current in an electrical conductor.
WHERE AS
Electric current is by definition the flow of electric charge. The SI unit of electric current is the ampere (A), which is equal to a flow of one coulomb of charge per second.

Voltage is described as "Electro Motive Force." Voltage is the "pressure" behind current.
Current is described as, "An apparent flow of positive charges past a given point per unit time." Imagine current as water, and voltage as its pressure..
Please note...Current is not actually a flow of positiv charges. It is, in fact, a "stream" of electrons. For easy mathematical purposes, the signs are reversed and it is, for practical mathematical purposes, considered positive.

i got told to think of electricity through a wire like water being pumped down a channel, the voltage represents the power of the pump and the current is the strength of the flow in the channel

Ok this is what I've picked up from physics lessons...current is the flow of electrons around a circuit, whereas voltage is the electrical push around the circuit.

current is the flow, voltage is the strength

A current is a berry isn't it?
