This was the first answer given:
Resistance is electricity is like friction in water flow.
but that answer was not stated correctly!
This is how the answer should actually be stated:
The effect of resistance on electricity is like the effect of friction on water flow.
Comment
Describing resistance as being 'like friction' is an analogy that is often stated but it is important to understand that it must be stated accurately, as is shown in the second example above.
The factor which is commonly known as "resistance" - which slows the speed or rate of flow of current in an electrical circuit - is caused by physical effects that are actually nothing like the physical effects which cause the factor which is commonly known as "friction" which slows the flow of water along, for example, a pipe or the bed of a river.
The analogy refers only to the fact that, if current is flowing through some material making up part of an electrical circuit, the amount of resistance present within the material has the effect of slowing down the speed or rate at which the current can flow.
The analogy is correct in the sense that, if water is flowing past a surface, the amount of roughness present on that surface causes friction which has the effect of slowing down the speed or rate at which the water can flow along that surface.
Resistance itself is actually nothing at all like either 'roughness' or 'friction': in metal conductors the amount of resistance present in any material has more to do with the availability of free electrons to act as charge carriers.
No you will not reduce the amount of water, when you use electricity from a 'water driven' power station. You only use the energy of 'falling down' (potential energy is lost).

Amount of electrical energy converted to heat energy when current flows through a conducting material.According to Joule's Law, quantity of heat energy dissipated is given by,Q=i2Rtnotein power transmission, aluminum wires* are used to reduce the heat energy lossusing a step up transformer,we increase the voltage and reduced in current to reduce heat loss.(heat loss is proportional to the square of current.)* though silver is the material with minimum resistance,it is too dear to be used as transmission wires.
No, it is a protein found in tissue to reduce friction
Resistance inhibits current flow.
no you can not
put a lubricant
Friction is the act of one surface rubbing against another. To reduce friction, use something that offers a small amount of friction. Smoother substances reduce friction. A way to reduce friction is to use something which offers a small amount of friction. For example, you could use something like plastic or glass. Water, most liquids and different types of oil reduce friction. Powder, oil and grease are used in between surfaces to also reduce friction.
The best way to reduce the amount of electricity used by an air conditioner is to raise the set point of the thermostat to a warmer setting.
to reduce, reuse, and recycle everything you can
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
No. It reduces the amount of force required, but it does not reduce the total amount of work. In fact, due to friction, it will probably increase the total amount of work.
by using lubricate oil etc
No you will not reduce the amount of water, when you use electricity from a 'water driven' power station. You only use the energy of 'falling down' (potential energy is lost).
No. Your magnet will fight the electricity.
Lubrication to reduce friction. To increase friction step on the brakes.
