Yes, voltage is a kind of electric pressure. It is also called potential. When there is potential difference between any two points, current starts flowing from high pressure point to low pressure point.
FOR EXAMPLE : When there is a difference in air pressure between two regions, air moves from region of low pressure to region of high pressure causing winds
In this case air is the potential and wind is electric current

∙ 12y agoBy definition, voltage is the potential difference between two points. So, although you can change the two points across which you measure the voltage, it doesn't 'move' in the sense you probably mean. What does 'move' through a circuit, though, is the current.

If voltage changes in a ac circuit what happens to current?
Voltage attempts to make a current flow, and current will flow if the circuit is complete. It is possible to have voltage without current, but current cannot flow without voltage. The answer is "yes",voltage remains the same as current moves through the circuit.As the voltage remains constant, current increases in the circuit.
How a bucking voltage acts?
bucking voltage is a voltage which is of opposite polarity to the voltage it acts .
Where does the current come from that moves the needle on an analog clamp on meter?
A: Directly from whatever you are measuring as a Small current to move the coil to indicate current flow. That current can be calibrated to read voltage or current on the meter itself
What is voltage transformation ratio?
ratio of secondry voltage to primary voltage is called voltage transformation ratio
What is the voltage that supplies a motor starter called?
In the electrical trade it is called control voltage. This voltage can be any voltage. In North America the common control voltage is 120 volts.
What moves away from higher voltage?
Protons.
What happens to voltage as it moves through a circuit?
Voltage breaks down and looses voltage but not power.The above answer is incorrect. In fact, the question is incorrect because voltage doesn't 'move through a circuit'.
What is the force or path that moves free electrons from one atom to another is?
voltage
How the threshold voltage changes the transfer curve for a comparator?
It moves side ways
Is your battery weak if your voltage gauge moves down?
Weak battery, or weak alternator.
What force keep current flowing?
Voltage is the pressure that moves the electrons (current) through a circuit.
Does the voltage increase when current moves through the circuit?
If a buck boost converter is a part of the circuit, then it is possible.
What are ways magnets can produce electricity?
If a conductor moves in a magnetic field, a voltage will be induced. This can be tapped to get an electrical current.
The difference in energy per unit charge as a charge moves between two points in the path of a circuit?
voltage

Theory operation of temp gauges?
System voltage is applied to the temperature sensor, which is a variable resistor that limits more or less system voltage to pass based on engine coolant temperature. The temperature guage needle then moves accordingly to the varying input voltage sent to it from the sensor.
What happens when metal rod moves in magnetic field?
Induced voltage generates in rod.Voltage difference evolve between two ends.
