Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is an analogy for electrical current? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand what electrical current is. It is the flow of electric charge in a circuit.
  • Step 2: Think about how water flows through a pipe. The movement of water represents something moving from one place to another.
  • Step 3: Compare the flow of electric charge to the flow of water. Just like water moves through a pipe, electric charge moves through wires.
  • Step 4: Realize that the amount of water flowing can be compared to the amount of electric charge flowing. More water means more flow, just like more electric charge means more current.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the analogy of water flow in a pipe is a good way to understand electrical current.
