water to electricity analogy

Electronics is like a system of pipes and channels for water:
-Voltage is your pressure-weight in bench-F=ma
-Current is the speed of the water (ft/sec)-speed of bar in bench-d/t
-Watts is gallons per minute-power =F*d/t=work/t=power
-wire gauge is the diameter of the pipe
-Inductors are paddle wheels
-Capacitors are water towers- capacitence-ability of something to hold a charge
-Resistors are friction plates
-Diode are check valves
-batteries are pumps
