A) force that moves charged particles.
B) rate at which charged particles move.
C) resistance against moving charged particles.
D) number of charged particles moving between two points.
E) conduction of charged particles along a pathway.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Voltage is the force that moves charged particles, just as pressure is the force that moves water in a system. Voltage creates an electric field that exerts a force on charged particles, causing them to move towards areas of lower potential. The greater the difference in voltage, the greater the force on the charged particles, and the faster they move.
