No. "Voltage" is the difference of electric potential between two points ... the 'pressure'

that electrons would feel to move from one point to another if there's a conducting path.

The actual flow of electrons between two points is electric "current".

Why do charges flow in wires?

Electronic charges will flow when a potential difference between the two locations, and an adequate path between them exists (with a low enough dielectric constant to allow the flow of charge - such as a wire). Electrons will move from here to there because there are "extra" electrons here, and there's some "missing" electrons there. Electrons have a specific charge. If you have "extra" electrons at one location relative to "missing" electrons at another location, you will have a negative voltage here, and a positive voltage (relative to here) there. This is called a potential difference (or voltage difference).


The movement of electrons through a conductor is called?

The motion of electrons is called elecricity. Electricity is used to represent the liberated out put by the movement of electrons.


What is the pressure that pushes the electrons called?

Voltage. Voltage is an electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts. This was discovered by Alessandro Volta. The formula for voltage can be recognized as amps×ohms known as Ohm's law.-Xavier D.

What unit is used to measure the electric force that causes the electrons to move?

This question is incorrect. Electricity is defined as the accumulation/ movement of electrons. The reason that electrons move is the same reason gravity exisits. They are just natural phenomena. There is no electric force that makes electrons move. It is the attractive/ repulsive forces between the protons and electrons. There is no such defined force you are asking about. The closest unit to answer this question is the Coloumb.


What are moving electrons called?

Moving electrons or other charged carriers is called electricity. The amount of electrical pressure pushing the electrons is called the voltage. The number of electrons moving past some point in a given time is called the current. Electrons are subatomic particles (smaller than atoms) called leptons.


What is the force that causes electrons to move in an electrical circuit?

The force that causes electrons to move in an electrical circuit is called voltage. Voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit, which creates an electric field that pushes the electrons to flow from the higher potential to the lower potential.


What is flow of electrical charge called?

current


What driving force which causes electrons to flow through conductors is called?

The driving force that causes electrons to flow through conductors is called voltage. Voltage creates an electric field that pushes the electrons in a circuit, enabling them to move from higher potential to lower potential.
