Voltage in a circuit can be compared to water pressure in a pipe. Just like higher water pressure allows water to flow faster and with more force, higher voltage in a circuit enables electric current to flow more easily and with more energy. Conversely, lower voltage results in slower and weaker flow of electric current, similar to low water pressure leading to a weaker flow of water.

What is a form of electrical pressure?

That sounds like the description of voltage. It isn't really a pressure, but you can compare voltage to pressure (in the water analogy).


What is analogous to water pressure in an electric circuit?

Voltage in an electric circuit is analogous to water pressure in a pipe. Voltage is the force that drives electric current through a circuit, similar to how water pressure pushes water through a pipe.


What is the analogy for sea?

An analogy for lake would be "large body of water". Another analogy for lake could be "place where fish live".


What is the answer to the analogy water is to wet as dust is to what?

The answer to the analogy "water is to wet as dust is to what" would be dry. Water becomes wet when it comes in contact with it, similarly, dust becomes dry when it is not wet or has not come in contact with water.


What is a good analogy for a battery?

Type your answer here... you could think of a water jug....the taller(and fuller) it is would create more pressure (voltage) at the spigot. The larger in diameter your jug creates more volume, thereby increasing supply(amperes).


What is an analogy of mitchondria?

An analogy FOR mitochondria would be a power plant. It takes in oxygen, water and C6H12O6 and makes ATP and CO2 and water vapor, the same way a power plant takes in coal and water, and gives back electricity and smoke.

How do you make a working model on electricity which is easy to make?

Just make a physics model of the properties which are associated with electricity but are tangible in the real world. I.e. the water analogy of electricity. Water pressure is voltage, electrical current is analogous to water flow rate and a restriction in a water pipe could be resistance. but it is important that this is only a model for certain circumstances and will break down if you try to carry the analogy too far.


It can be said that pressure and electromative force are the same?

There is analogy between pressure and EMF or voltage. What pressure is to the liquids, EMF or voltage is to electric current. But, of course, they are not the same.


What is the meaning of 'voltage drives current'?

Think of Voltage as the pressure and Amperage (current) as flow. If you think of it as pipes with water then the pressure would be voltage, and current would be how much water flows past a certain point in the pipe in a given time.


Does voltage forces electrical energy though a circuit?

You could say yes. The usual analogy is the height of a water fall relative to the flow of the water in a stream. If the potential difference is great it is similar to a high fall since the height difference is what drives the water down the falls.
