DEFINITION
CURRENT
Current is the rate at which electric charge flows past a point in a circuit. In other words, current is the rate of flow of electric charge.
VOLTAGE Voltage, also called electromotive force, is the potential difference in charge between two points in an electrical field. In other words, voltage is the "energy per unit charge”.

RELATIONSHIP
CURRENT
Current is the effect (voltage being the cause). Current cannot flow without Voltage.
VOLTAGE
Voltage is the cause and current is its effect. Voltage can exist without current.

IN SERIES CONNECTION
CURRENT
Current is the same through all components connected in series.
VOLTAGE
Voltage gets distributed over components connected in series.
IN PARALLEL CONNECTION
CURRENT
Current gets distributed over components connected in parallel.
VOLTAGE
Voltages are the same across all components connected in parallel.
