How is difference of pressure at two points in an electric circuit

Open in App

Solution

A simple analogy for anelectric circuit is water flowing in a closed circuit of pipework, driven by a mechanical pump. This can be called a "water circuit". Potential difference between two points corresponds to the pressure difference between two points.
