And it's not water speed that's the current, it's water throughput: if the flow goes from a thicker pipe to a thinner one the current will remain the same, but the speed won't. | |

| Aug 1, 2012 at 8:17 | comment | added | Standard Sandun | This is a bad analogy. A good analogy is water flowing through a pipe between two potentials. Potential difference of two ends is like voltage , water speed is like current , and friction of the pipe is like resistance. | |
