What is more important current or voltage?
In electric circuits there is concept called duality, which says that for any phenomenom that occurs related to voltage, there is a dual phenomenom related to current. Thus, voltage and current are equally important to understanding electric circuits.
How do you create potential difference in an electric circuit?
When electrons pass through the component, work is done. Some of the energy of the electrons is transferred to the component. This causes a difference in energy across the component, which is known as an electrical potential difference (p.d.)
What is high and low potential?
There’s a point of high potential, where a positive charge would have the highest possible potential energy, and there’s a point of low potential, where a charge would have the lowest possible potential energy. A voltage is the difference in potential between two points in an electric field.

What’s the difference between electric field, voltage, and current?
That’s because current is defined as the change in positive charges. However, it’s the negative electrons that move. In most (but not all) cases, negative charges moving to the right looks just like positive charges moving to the left so that it doesn’t really matter.
Which is true about a constant electric field?
Although this expression is only true for a constant electric field, it’s still useful. This says that the electric field doesn’t depend on the electric potential but rather how that potential changes with distance. How about an analogy? Suppose you have a ball on a hill.
