current is rate of flow of electrons

nd electrons flow from 1 point to another when there is a difference of potential

between the 2 points

so i think current is because of voltage

Hi.....

Voltage attempts to make a current flow, and current will flow if the circuit is complete. Voltage is sometimes described as the 'push' or 'force' of the electricity, it isn't really a force but this may help you to imagine what is happening. It is possible to have voltage without current, but current cannot flow without voltage.
