High voltage is like how lightning is really bright and powerful. It's when there's a lot of electricity flowing through something. Electricity is like tiny particles that move around really fast, almost like a bunch of little cars driving down a road. When there's a lot of electricity, it can do things like power a lightbulb or make a computer work. But if there's too much electricity, it can be dangerous and hurt people, like lightning can. So we need to be careful and make sure we only use high voltage when we really need it and can do it safely.
