re: #226 reine.de.tout

I once asked an electrician to explain to me about electricity and the various terms.

It could not be done.

Seems like you have to sort of be able to picture it in your head to understand it, and I just failed miserably.

Imagine a garden hose.
Turn the water on, and try to keep the water from coming out the end.
The pressure is equivalent to voltage.
The volume of water coming out is equivalent to current.
Resistance is equivalent to the diameter/overall length of the hose.

Does that help?
