What are the definitions of a)voltage and b)current?

a) Current is defined as the rate of flow of charge; I = Q/t (Current is charge/time).b) Voltage is an electromotive force which drives the charge around the circuit. A potential difference between two points on a circuit causes a flow of charge.
