    Same with me… Voltage creates the ______ for current to flow.
    I think the question in not correct or at least there are more than one interpretation of the words.

    If I choose Conditions: it is correct because if no voltage I dont have the conditions to make the current flow
    If I choose Necessity: Electrons will need a necessity to flow if you apply a voltage there. No voltage no necessity.
    If I choose requirements: well it is a requisite to apply voltage or a magnetic field to make the electrons flow.
    If I choose Potential: If I am thinking like the voltage is the potential energy then it is going to create current flow.

    SO it could be any or the 4 options. I don’t like how you are asking and I don’t know what to answer. You get to be more clear.
