I need to learn this once and for all...

Reply to Thread

Ive tried to learn how voltage, current, resistance, etc. work but, I could
never understand it coming thru the mouth of a professor.... Does anyone
know a website that can explain it fairly simple???

Thanks,
Ryan Richards

 

Why do you need to learn it "once and for all"? If you can't learn it from
a professor perhaps you aren't destined to learn it at all!

 

Try one of these water analogies:

Or try the currant analogy. You're squeezing currants thru a sieve:
voltage is pressure, the sieve is a resistor, as it resists the flow
of currants. The more pressure you put on the curants, the more
currants flow thru. And the more resistance, the less currants get
thru.
