Voltage (sometimes also called electric or electrical tension) is the difference of electrical potential between two points of an electrical or electronic circuit, expressed in volts.[1] It measures the potential energy of an electric field to cause an electric current in an electrical conductor. Depending on the difference of electrical potential it is called extra low voltage, low voltage, high voltage or extra high voltage

Justin is half right.
Voltage is like the height of the waterfall.
Current is like the RATE at which water is going over the fall.
Coulombs (amount of electric charge) is like the amount of water.
Amount = rate x time
Power (watts,or joules per second) = amps x volts
Energy (joules) = coulombs x volts = amps x sec x volts

Deep D's answer is correct. Another way to look and think about it is that it's like a waterfall.
Voltage is how high the waterfall is.
Current is how much water goes over the fall.

Oh, it's all about electricity; and it's damn painful in some instances.
