The video tutorial explains electric circuits, focusing on voltage and current. Voltage is described as a pushing force that moves electrons through a circuit, while current is the flow of electrons measured in amperes. The tutorial uses a domino analogy to illustrate electron movement, emphasizing that energy, not individual electrons, travels through the circuit. The relationship between voltage and current is introduced, hinting at Ohm's Law, which will be covered in future lessons.
