I don’t get this, cause I’m stupid, but maybe someone will find this funny.

    I had the water thing explained to me so many times and I could never get it intuitively. I’m not sure why. These ladies are just the water analogy again.

    What finally worked for me was someone describing it to me like a bike chain of electrons. Maybe because I’m too dense to conceptualize a really tiny liquid inside a solid. But once it was described like amps are how many links go by, ohms makes it harder to move, and volts push the chain and it’s a CIRCLE, and they are always touching each other. I was set.

    Maybe that’s what you remember, water doesn’t intuitively link to the concept of a circuit or the chain of electrons.

    There’s still the possibility I didn’t understand this analogy either, but at least I feel more confident.
