Water Can Decrease Resistance to Flow of Electricity
Similarly in a circuit a resistor is like the valve. The amount of electric current flowing through the body. Understanding The Basics Of Electricity By Thinking Of It As Water It is obvious both need unrestricted paths to follow and both need pressure to make them flow With electricity the pressure is called voltage. . If the pressure stays the same and the resistance increases making it more difficult for the water to flow then the flow rate must decrease. The nature of the analogies can help develop an understanding of the quantities in basic electric ciruits. Added 4232020 125103 AM This answer has been confirmed as correct and helpful. The body has resistance to current flow. The way they are dissimilar in my opinion is that electricity carries energy. As odd as it may seem the actual mathematical relationship between pressure flow and resistance is actually more complex for fluids like water than it is for electric c...
