- Using `voltage` as a way of saying "I'm dealing with voltage here" is pointless - most electronics questions do.
- I think the `voltage` vs `current` tags are however relevant in the case when you need to be more specific about which one of the two that applies.
- For example if you have a digital signal and a question about EMC, it becomes highly relevant to provide information about whether the signal is voltage modulated or current modulated (aka a current loop).
Similarly questions about voltage drop over cables might apply, in which case current assumption is highly relevant and you need to mention both.- Or questions about common industry standards 0-10V vs 4-20mA. And so on.
- It might make sense to switch some of the `voltage` tags to `supply-voltage` in case they are dealing with power electronics.
