The video tutorial introduces the concept of voltage, emphasizing its importance in electricity. It uses an analogy comparing voltage to gravity, where potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as a mass rolls down a hill. This analogy is extended to electrical circuits, where a battery creates a 'mountain' for electrons to flow down, doing work along the way. The tutorial explains how voltage is proportional to the 'height' of this mountain, and how circuit components like resistors and capacitors can influence the flow of electrons, similar to obstacles on a hill.

What is the primary focus of the video regarding voltage?

• Deriving mathematical equations for voltage

• Discussing the dangers of high voltage
