Thread 105636562

I still don't know the difference between a volt and an amp

>>105636562 (OP)
what's so hard?

>>105636562 (OP)
volt is how big the pipe is and amp is how much water goes thru

This one explains it better in case you didn't know that current = amperage

also in AC power, resistance is replaced with impedance

amp = water
volt = water pressure
ohm = diameter of water pipe

>>105637558
The electrical analogy makes fluid systems much easier to undertsand, it's true, but that will do little to help OP who lacks the fundamentals.

>>105637577
i think (... hope) most people have seen and understand how water moves through a pipe and how it's affected by pressure and diameter. though i could be overestimating how common that is...

SOVL

>>105637571
Also SOVL, but just a tad less

One of them is a small Chevy and the other one you plug electric guitars into

>>105637558
Ohm is the "reciprocal of the area of the cross section", not the "diameter"

>>105637657
if you want to be more accurate, sure, but it's supposed to be a simple analogy. perhaps "thickness of the pipe" would be better, as it's less specific regarding their relationship

>>105637598
Have they? Where? Maybe if they were plumbers.

Diameter of a pipe really isn't the same thing as resistance. Resistance per meter maybe, but I don't think that's what you meant. Water will prefer to go down a larger pipe then a smaller pipe, but that isn't because diameter is like resistance, but rather because the constriction acts like a capacitor. But this is all far above where OP stands, I expect. Water flow is simple enough, but water pressure is totally above most people.

the volt is how good it feels when you cum while the amp is your semen
you can ruin an orgasm (low volt high amp) or shoot blanks (high volt low amp), or both (very satisfying)
alternatively, if you're american: voltage is the size of your burger and amperage is how many you scarf down in a single sitting

>Have they? Where?
you've never squeezed a bottle of liquid with a hole at the end?

>>105636562 (OP)
Did you take physics in high school?

>>105636562 (OP)
Well, I only know that electricity is dangerous and I have to call an expert.
