   I don't understand electricity. I just pretend that I do.

     @kaia@brotka.st Wait, there was a good picture to better remember somewhere... There it is

     @kaia@brotka.st :ablobcatsweatsiphard: i rarely remember where i got stuff from. :neomarxBottom:
     
     i do like the picture and have similar problems understanding electricity intuitively.

     @kaia @monkee volts measure the difference in potential that is what forces electrons to move through the conductor (equivalent to a difference in height in the mechanics of free fall), ampere you can think of as related to the number of electrons (equivalent to the mass in the mechanics of free fall), ohms measure the resistance of the conductor (equivalent in free fall mechanics could be air resistance).

     @kaia volts is how angry the pixies are, amps how many there are and ohms how hard it is for them to move.
     The pixies also create a funny forcefield when moving and a different one when they wanna go somewhere they can't

     @snacks @kaia there's a book where this is the premise but they're called greenies. attempts to explain npn doping and how diodes and transistors work
