Voltage is what they are compared to.
Voltage in a circuit can be compared to water pressure in a pipe. Just like higher water pressure allows water to flow faster and with more force, higher voltage in a circuit enables electric current to flow more easily and with more energy. Conversely, lower voltage results in slower and weaker flow of electric current, similar to low water pressure leading to a weaker flow of water.
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.
This is a simile because it compares the flow of electric current to the flow of water in a river bed using "like."
Electric current and water current are similar in that they both involve the flow of a substance - electrons in the case of electric current and water molecules in the case of water current. Both currents can be controlled and directed through the use of circuits or channels. Additionally, both currents can generate power and be harnessed for various applications.
True. Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a medium. It is typically measured in amperes (A) and represents the rate of flow of electric charge.
Water pipes represent electric circuits as both systems involve the flow of a substance—water in pipes and electric current in wires. Just as water pressure drives the flow through pipes, voltage pushes electric current through a circuit. Valves in water pipes can be compared to resistors or switches in electrical circuits, controlling the flow of water or electricity. Additionally, blockages in pipes can represent short circuits or faults in an electrical system, disrupting the flow.
Compared to molasses, water in the olde mill stream, or traffic on the interstate highway, electric current flows very fast. Compared to the speed of light, in vacuum and in most material media, electric current flows slower.

The flow of electric charges is current.

It is called an electric current.
potential difference make the current to flow. i think this can be compared with mechanical system as fluid flow as a result prssure difference between two points
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.

Voltage
DC current
Voltage can be compared with the level to which the tap is opened. (Volume of water) Current can be compared with the speed at which water flows from tap. (Flow of water).
