We're currently learning about amps and volts, and I'm having problems understanding the 2...
I know volts is the "possible" or "potential" energy(correct me if I'm wrong) and the amp is the current. I don't get how amps can be the current, and if amps are the currents, shouldn't most electrical appliance(lightbulb for example) should say the amount of amps not volts. Thats another thing I don't get, how is a ,oh let say, christmas lights "is" 2.5, or 5 volts, how can an object have "potenial" energy?
