Yes.
If you compare the effect water pressure has on flow rates and from an open tap, more pressure allows more water to flow out of and away from the source.
In electrical circuitry, an increase in voltage - say from a battery - will in most cases
enable a larger current to flow around the circuit that the battery is connected to.
Voltage can be seen as the pressure force pushing another quantity around the loop and that quantity is electrical current .
Electrical pressure and the quantity of electricity transmitted can be considered analogous to water flowing in pipes.
Electrical pressure is called voltage: the longer the distances, the higher is the pressure (voltage) required to pump the current.
That is why, for long distance transmission, high pressure (voltage here) is required, failing which, the power will not reach the destined end. It will dissipate on the way.

We can think of electrical current as the quantity of electricity which will be drawn from the pipeline (= cables for electricity) at the pressure (= voltage) required.

What is the electrical pressure that causes electrons to flow?
voltage, breh
What does volt measure?
Voltage measures the electrical potential between two parts of an electrical circuit. Also called electromotive force. Voltage provides the 'pressure' to drive electrons round a circuit.
How you would use the water flow to demonstrate a low-voltage electric current?
In a water system, the "voltage" is the water pressure, the flow rate is the "current", and the pipe size is the "resistance". Low-voltage electrical current is equivalent to low-pressure water.
What does voltage mean in science?
It is defined as electromotive force, and the difference in electrical potential between 2 points in a circuit. It has also been explained as the pressure in an electrical circuit.
Is induced voltage and induced currrent the same?
Induced voltage is alsocalled ghost or phantom voltage as if you apply a load it vanishes. induced voltage will be potential/electrical pressure. Amperage is the actual flow of current being used, Watts being its calibration of total power used.
How is different between voltage and current?
voltage = the electrical "pressure"current = the electrical "movement rate" or "flow rate"
What is a form of electrical pressure?
That sounds like the description of voltage. It isn't really a pressure, but you can compare voltage to pressure (in the water analogy).
What is millivoltge a measurement of?
Voltage- the measurement of electrical 'pressure'.
The unit of measure of electrical pressure is the?
The unit of measure of electrical pressure is the VOLTS.
Can electrical power be calculated by multiplying electrical pressure by current?
If you are defining electrical pressure as voltage then the answer to your question is yes. W = A x V.
What is the electrical pressure that causes electrons to flow?
voltage, breh
What is the amount of electrical pressure in a circuit?
They call that "voltage" or EMF.
What is electrical pressure?
Electro motive force = EMF = Voltage.
Is it true that electrical current flows from a state of rest to a high pressure state?
No, it is not true. An electrical current (which is a flow of electrons) can only flow from a higher pressure state (higher voltage) to a lower pressure state (lower voltage).
Which basic element of electricity is also described as ''electrical pressure?
Voltage
Supplies the electrical pressure in an automotive circuit?
The "electrical pressure" probably refers to the voltage. This is usually provided by a battery. The battery is recharged by the engine when it is running.
Why does voltage matter?
Voltage is a measure of electrical potential. I understood voltage best when my first semester Electronics professor told the class that voltage is to an electrical circuit as water pressure is to a plumbing "circuit".
