Voltage can be compared to the total pressure of the water, current is the speed of the water flowing thru te tubes and resistance is the thickness and length of the tubes. The longer and thinner the tubes the higher the resistance and the slower is the flow, but the final pressure at the end of the tube will be the same as the input pressure provided no water is drained from the system.

Very simular, voltage is equivalent to water pressure, electrical current is equalivalent to gallons per minute (water flow), and resistor in a water system would be something that constricts the flow of water.

What are the differences between bi-cmos and cmos technology?

CMOS circuits utilize complementary MOSFETs, i.e; NMOS and PMOS devices together in various patterns to create functional blocks like AND or OR gates. However the problem with these types of CMOS circuits is that they are inherently low power circuits. They cannot handle large currents. So when your block needs to have a large fan out (need to drive a large no of outputs, i.e; more current required) CMOS circuits fail. That is why we use BiCMOS. They are very similar to CMOS circuits except for the BJT(Bipolar Junction Transistor) output stage. BJTs are capable of carrying large currents, hence BiCMOS circuits are used in cases of large current requirements.
