Electric current flows like water in a river flows. If the river is deep, there is greater current but slower. If the river is shallow, the current is faster, but the volume of water is greater. The same analogies can be used with electricity.

How is the electricity like a river using voltage?
Because they both have current i think
What type of electricity is generated using a river's current?
Electric current is the rate at which electrons flow from one atom to another. It relates to a river in that the electrons which make up the current are always flowing in the same direction just like the current in a river.
Which river supplies most of he north islands electricity?
Campbell River
How you would use the water flow to demonstrate a high voltage of electric current?
Electricity and water are often compared to help explain how electricity works. Voltage is like the speed of water in a river, and electrical current is like the amount of water in the river. Resistance can be compared to the physical width of the river. Power is voltage times current, or the speed of the water times the amount of water. Electricity is usually most dangerous when it is available at high power - similar to a huge, fast moving river.
Is the river used for electricity?
Yes, they can. If a dam is placed across the river, falling water over the dam can drive turbines which produce electricity.
Which river supplies most of the north islands electricity of nz?
cambell river
What was the purpose of the dams of the Nile River?
To control the river and flooding and produce electricity.
What is the river that supplies the most electricity for the north island in nz?
campbell river.......i think??
Can the Singapore River be harnessed to generate electricity?
yes?
What is the uses of river volga?
Hydro electricity is one
What happens to electrical in a resistor?
when you think of electricity and resistance think of it as water in a river and rocks in a river. The water being the electricity and the rocks being the resistance. when water in a river flows and then come across rocks that block the water from flowing constantly, it slows down the water. therefore when electricity is flowing through a circuit with resistance, when it hits the resistors it slows the flow of electricity.
The dams alone the Colorado River produce what power?
Electricity.
