To summarized for my own learning process, Voltage is the pressure applied to the water, Amps would be the flow rate of the water, Resistance/Ohms is the size of the hole in the bag limiting the flow of water, and Wattage is the force the water exiting exerts. So, if you Increase the Voltage (pressure exerted on the bag), Wattage (the force of the water exiting the hole in the bag) increases, Increase the Amps (the flow rate of the water exiting the hole in the bag), Wattage (the force...) increases, Decrease the Resistance (by increasing the size of the hole in the bag), Wattage (the force ...) increases, One additional prop that helps with this demonstration is to add a catchment device to funnel the exiting water to a waterwheel, connected to a mini electrical generator/the right electric motor wired backwards which in turn powers a lightbulb or series of LED's.
Not very convincing. Voltage is for me like how many persons a given car can transport, Amperage how many cars you use at the same time (= how many lanes you have on the road). So 5V at 1A charging is a medium-sized car on a single lane, 20V at 3A is 3 small busses travelling side-by-side on a 3 lane highway. Watts at the end are how many persons you transported: 20Vx3A = 60W = I transported 60 persons each hour.
I have been searching for an explanation of Volts/Amps/Watts that makes sense to me and finally found it. AND it was laden with dad jokes - a balm to my heart as well!
1 Watt = 1 Joule per second [W=J/sec] 1 Amp = 1 coulomb per second [A=C/sec or A=1c/1sec] 1 volt = 1 watts worth of power sent over a conducting wire at 1 amp (1 coulomb per second) [V=W/A] 1 ohm = 1 volt producing 1 amp [ohm=V/A, ohm=(1{Joule/sec}/1{C/sec})/(1C/1sec)]
If you're using bags of water in a sink to explain electricity you need to stop and admit something: many people are simply too stupid to understand it no matter how much you try to dumb it down for them.
It's very simple guys they put it in the description when you think electricity think water, current flow, it's the strength of the water, on the other hand potential voltage is the difference like a waterfall or river, if the slope is steep or difference is great, it's high voltage, which usually would mean high current it's a directly corresponding relationship ohm law v=ir. That's why when they warn about high voltage it also means high current because thats what kills you.
I think it'll be better to explain it in form of plumbing. Having 1/4" pipe being 15amps, 1/2" being 20amps, ect Pressure being volts Gallons being watts
