Volts, Ohms and Amps

Ohm’s Law explained with water: pressure, pipe size, and flow

Tank height = pressure 120 V Volts push the flow Pipe squeeze = resistance 10 Ω Ohms fight the flow Flow = current 12 A Amps do the work Same thing as a circuit: 120 V source 10 Ω load A 12 A
120V
Volts: push (pressure)
10
Ohms: resistance (pipe squeeze)
12A
Amps: current (flow)
1440W
Watts: power (V × A)
Holding
20 A breaker
12 A=120 V÷10 Ω
Amps = Volts ÷ Ohms. Cover the one you want and the other two tell you the math.

Why It Matters

Ohm's Law is one of the first concepts every electrician learns. Understanding how voltage, current, and resistance work together makes troubleshooting, wiring, and electrical calculations much easier.
