Electrical current is analogous to water flow in a pipe. Voltage is analogous to water pressure, driving electrons (water) through a conductor (pipe). Resistance is analogous to the pipe’s width, restricting electron (water) flow. Capacitance is analogous to a water tank, storing charge (water) when voltage (pressure) increases. Inductance is analogous to a flywheel, opposing changes in current (water flow). Similar to voltage, power is the rate at which electrical energy (water flow) is transferred, while energy is the total amount transferred.
