If you had to explain voltage to someone, how would you illustrate and describe it?
I would draw a ball on top of a hill. The position of the ball at the top of the hill gives it potential energy because gravity is acting on it. The difference in potential energy between the position at the top of the hill and the bottom of the hill is similar to voltage.
