It sounds reasonable to me.

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

 for example, in order to run 10 km/h I need to be stronger. If I am runnin=
g through oatmeal I need to be stronger still to keep my speed at 10 km/h.

 through is resistance. If the resistance is more than I am strong then my =
speed will decrease and I will only be able to run 5 km/h.
