Electricity water analogy gif. Volume charge flow rate current and pressure voltage. Click any part of it for further details. If the plant can t keep up with the demands we experience brown outs a shortage of electric power just like water users at the end of a river would run short on water if the pump were too slow. The three most basic components of electricity are voltage current and resistance.

Please login to use the service. Electricity 101 voltage current and resistance. The higher it is the more potential energy the water has by virtue of its distance from the bottom of the falls and the more energy it will possess as it hits the bottom. Think a spigot on a house or a water pump.

It s common to hear an analogy which says that electricity is like water it goes something like this. Voltage is like the pressure that pushes water through the hose. Volts measure voltage and are like water pressure. Submit the readings for electricity and water meters against any account.

Again this is a common quantity. This physics video explains how the electric current flows using the analogy of water flow. The analogy here is to water flow or more specific the amount of water flowing through a cross sectional area per unit time. This video is meant for students studying in class 9 and 10 in cb.

In a direct current dc electrical circuit the voltage v in volts is an expression of the available energy per unit charge which drives the electric current i in amperes around a closed circuit. Hydraulic systems are like electric circuits. Dc circuit water analogy this is an active graphic. The hydraulic analogy is useful for visualizing w.

The electronic hydraulic analogy derisively referred to as the drain pipe theory by oliver lodge is the most widely used analogy for electron fluid in a metal conductor since electric current is invisible and the processes in play in electronics are often difficult to demonstrate the various electronic components are represented by hydraulic equivalents. But using water as an analogy offers an easy way to gain a basic understanding. Services with ekey login. Amp or ampere is the unit for current.

You see amp ratings on just about all electric devices. Kwh measure energy and are like how full the. The fundamental laws of electricity are mathematically complex. Unlike the water pump in our river analogy however the power plant automatically adjusts to meet the demands of the consumer at the end of the wires.

The analogy here is to water pressure. Amps measure current and are like the volume of the flow.
