A voltage causes electric charges to move from higher to lower potential.

Explanation: Voltage (potential difference) produces the electric field that drives charge flow (current). Resistance opposes that flow. Note: "Higher to lower potential" refers to conventional current (direction of positive charge); electrons (negative) move opposite.
