Electricity Water Analogy Animation

Hydraulic analogy interactive free flash animation to understand the difference between voltage and current.

Electricity water analogy animation. In this analogy a circuit is modelled as a big loop of rope. Since unlike electricity water is visible it often useful to first understand the behavior of water and then using it to understand electricity. Pccl interactive electricity simulations flash animations applet for free on line electricity learning interactive physics simulations interactive physics animations educational support in flash animations for electricity at middle school high school and academy for sciences classroom. It is common knowledge that water and electricity dont mix very well.

A common technique to solidify understanding is to learn the hydraulics analogy of electricity which is arguably easier to visualize than electricity itself. The rope loop the band saw water flowing in a pipe the water circuit uneven ground a ring of people each holding a ball the number of buses on a bus route hot water system horse and sugar lump train and coal trucks gravitational rough sea crowded room. This animation was inspired by a physical demonstration designed by joe vise. First well cover component comparisons to real systems followed by a bit about general analogies between electricity and water flow themselves and finally a few places where the.

The analogy helps you to understand the concept easily. Dc circuit water analogy this is an active graphic. However interestingly water and electricity behave in a sort of similar way. Multimeter intensity voltage rc and rl circuit study.

The animation was written by david m. Some examples are solved in this video. Click any part of it for further details. Simulation physics and chemistry by a clear learning in high school middle school upper school secondary school and academy.

There are two basic ways in which to connect more than two circuit components series and parallel. Pccl jean pierre fournat.
