BoBinks
so my life is like an Amp
ILOVEFARTING
Watt is this?
iusedtobeaspyuntil
What is the Omh guy?
TonyStarkWantsOne
Ohm my

I always pictured a water hose and volts being the "volume" of water and amps being the "pressure"...do I have that backwards?
GreedyJungle
This still doesn't explain why when I have 3 lights on in the the left side of my apartment my fuse blows.
rubbarz
I take it Ohms are the resistors
GOTTHEGUTSGOTTHEGLORY
As an electrical engineering major, can verify.
NkSde
Yusss, been procrastinating looking for that to explain ohm's law.
electricianmagician
Can confirm
smellmyicehole
Poor amp
allotherusernamestaken89
Now I feel bad I switched on all those lights.
sbcor42
Joules, you ignorant slut.

Can't help but think that "Amp" here should be labelled "Coulomb", but that wouldn help few people and leave little room to represent amps.
Shredder
I have no idea if this is true. But if it is, i like it.
LRWerewolf
It is, loosely, rather accurate.

Water analogy - voltage is pressure, resistance (ohm) is the size of the pipe & amps are a measure of how much water actually flows.
markskayff
Just loved it
AmpsterMan
I'm not sure if my name is relevant or not...
TheEmperorDidNothingWrong
This explains it better than anything I've ever read in school!
bpnoy3
Watts = amps * volts
UncleKaka
4 years of engineering school and all I needed was this diagram... I feel ripped off
halasterblackcloak
Electrician can verify
Cindermella
Explain in scientific terms please
halasterblackcloak
How about laments ohm is resistence
abduct
Ampacity is the flow of electrons measured in coulombs where 1C is 6.2x10^18 electrons passing a specific point in 1 second.
Cindermella
Oh okay, I get it now!
InspectorShitDik
So basically Ohms ties up Amps so that Volts can give it to Amps from behind? Alright got it
JeSuisBaguette
more like footing
Joylove
Right in the Coulomb.
InspectorShitDik
Flux her right in the pussy!
Joylove
Choke her while she shows resistance!
LongLostSonofAlbertoFujimori
Don't forget to play with the family joules
KillerTofu615
Ohms resist the push of volts. Amps are the speed.

My teacher showed us that picture in class last week. Weird.

Literally in the work book I was doing this morning in class
TyroneTheMagician
Same, you wouldnt be Australian by any chance?
DepressedPenguin
Sure am
TyroneTheMagician
Oh golly, so youre at tafe?

Where is Watts, Farads, Joules, Hertz, and (insert obscure unit of measurement here.)???
djinn5454
Henry. You forgot Henry
BigOldTurkeyLoad
Gauss and Siemens come to mind
Djchoragos
They're all derived units!
sarcastronaut
Pascals?

Hertz is how often volt kicks amp in the ass

Siemens would come to your mind.

I was an apprentice a long time ago. I still remember what my boss taught me. I=E/R or, the Indian sees the eagle over the rabbit...

This is the right one.

you have to give people a legend for your formula. If they knew, they dont need the formula.

E = V and V = E
CRUSTYSMEGMA
E could be confused for electric though.
CRUSTYSMEGMA
Oh whoops, meant to say electric field
Strostkovy
Gaah. Ohms law has nothing to do with power.
TyroneTheMagician
Then watt does?

You win today

Yes

I don't understand.

Ohms measure resistance, which is the loss of energy in any conductor; no conductive material perfectly transmits energy, so they all have-
RobertEmmet
a resistance. Amps, iirc are the actual work you're trying to do, whether it's illumination in a lamp or motion in an automatic door. Volts-
RobertEmmet
are the supplied or stored energy (generators vs. batteries) that is transmitted to cause the work. I may be wrong about all of this! I-
RobertEmmet
last studied basic electrician know-how four years ago and didn't bother to just look it up before writing these comments.
RobertEmmet
Just checked! I was partially incorrect. Amps are current, or the useful energy you're actually getting through your cable, which then do-
