I watched so many youtube videos about electronics but i cant seem to understand what is voltage and current. If I = V/R, then in a series circuit, if the voltage is reducing after each component, then the current should also decrease right? I don’t understand the water pipe analogy
In: 2
Current is how much charge passes through a cross-section of the wire per second.
In the case of electric wire it’s electrons, in batteries and such it’s charged particles, but it’s all the same.
So if you have a few components in series, the same amount of electrons passes through them every second, thus the same current passes through them
What gives rise to the voltage over each individual component is the current, not the other way around. All of these voltages add up to the voltage of the source, which is what gave rise to the current.
So source voltage causes current, current causes voltage over the load.
