Voltage, often called *electric potential difference*, is the force that pushes electric charges to move in a circuit. You can think of it like the pressure that pushes water through a pipe. In an electrical circuit, voltage is what causes electrons (the tiny charged particles) to flow through wires, creating an electric current.
The higher the voltage, the more force is available to push the electrons. It's measured in volts (V), and you can measure voltage across two points in a circuit.
For example, if you have a 9V battery, it means the battery provides a voltage of 9 volts to push the current through a circuit.
In short, voltage is like the "push" that drives the flow of electricity!
