The SI unit of charge is the coulomb (C).
Current is the rate of flow of charge past a point.
The SI unit of current is the ampere (A) or informally amp.
One ampere is one coulomb per second.

Voltage
Voltage is a measure of the amount of energy required to move
a quantity of charge from one point in a circuit to another. If
the expenditure of one joule of energy is required to move one
coulomb of charge from point A in a circuit to point B, then
point A is one volt higher in voltage than point B. The unit of
voltage is the volt (V) and one volt is one joule per coulomb.
(a, b) These are inadequate definitions of a
voltage. (c) A correct definition includes
both a symbol for the variable and a plusminus symbol pair.
(a, b) Terminal B is 5 V positive with
respect to terminal A; (c,d)
terminal A is 5 V positive with
respect to terminal B.

If the current arrow is directed into the “ +” marked terminal of
an element, then p = vi yields the absorbed power. A
negative value indicates that power is actually being
generated by the element.
If the current arrow is directed out of the “ +” terminal of an element,
then p = vi yields the supplied power. A negative value in this case
indicates that power is actually being absorbed instead of generated.

R is resistance to current flow. A higher resistance means more
power (higher voltage) is required to cause a given current to flow.
The unit of resistance is the ohm   and one ohm is one volt per amp.
RV /I
G is conductance. A higher conductance means less power (lower voltage)
is required to cause a given current to flow. The unit of conductance is the
siemen S. One siemen is one amp per volt. The conductance of a circuit
element is the reciprocal of the resistance of that element.
