Voltage.

Think of the electricity being water in a garden hose. Voltage is the "pressure" of the water - how hard it can push something. Current is the "flow rate" - gallons per hour. It is a measure of how much "electricity" (actually - how many electrons) are flowing through the wire.

Voltage, measured in volts. Push should really be expressed as "force".

The flow of electrons is current, measured in amperes.

Probably current, though I'm not entirely sure. It's in your textbook.
