  • Here is a good analogy on how to understand how electricity works.
    • Electrons are analogues to water.
    • Batteries are analogues to pump.
    • There is upper ramp that tells that electrons/water there has/have more potential over those in lower ramp.
    • There is a turbines that analogues as a resistor.\
  • I never has a clear instruction on how electronics works until I saw this image.
