Again this stupid question.  I've learned that I can work with volts, amps =
and resistance pretty well without really understanding.  I have the water =
analogy but that's not the best.  So I thought I would make my own analogy,=
 and ask if it is correct.


I am running at 10 km/h through the air.  It takes my muscles so much energ=
y to keep me running at that speed. If I switch to running through water, f=
or example, in order to run 10 km/h I need to be stronger. If I am running =
through oatmeal I need to be stronger still to keep my speed at 10 km/h.


So 10 km/h equals voltage, amps is how strong I am, and what I am running t=
hrough is resistance. If the resistance is more than I am strong then my sp=
eed will decrease and I will only be able to run 5 km/h.


I can now see how all of those three pieces, V, I and R, balance out.


Is this a good analogy?

Thanks!
