What does water pipes represent electric circuits?
Water pipes represent electric circuits as both systems involve the flow of a substance—water in pipes and electric current in wires. Just as water pressure drives the flow through pipes, voltage pushes electric current through a circuit. Valves in water pipes can be compared to resistors or switches in electrical circuits, controlling the flow of water or electricity. Additionally, blockages in pipes can represent short circuits or faults in an electrical system, disrupting the flow.
