What’s the difference Voltage, Current and Power?
In: Engineering
Voltage is a difference of potential between two points. Imagine a waterfall, the higher the potential, the taller the waterfall.
Current is how many electric charges are flowing in a conductor. Imagine a duct with water, the more water in the tube, the higher the current.
Power is current times voltage. Imagine you have water from a waterfall, hitting the paddles of a water mill. The taller the waterfall AND the more water in it, the more force hits the paddle and makes it turn.
