Title: Electricity as a Fluid
Url: http://www.phy6.org/Education/welectrc.html
Creator: Peredo, Mauricio
Stern, David P. (David Peter), 1931-
Publisher: David P. Stern
Description: Created by David P. Stern, this is a short non-mathematical description of the analogy between fluid flow in pipes and electricity flow in circuits, comparing batteries to pumps, current to flow rate (liters-per-second) and voltage to pressure. At the end the electric field is introduced as the 3-dimensional distribution of voltage in space. The lesson describes ideas such as Ohm's law, electric fields, and other similar concepts in physics. This is a nice introduction for those just beginning to study different elements of this field.
