(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A diagram for the flow of water through pipes, which show the interrelation of voltage, current, and resistance has to be constructed.

Concept introduction:

SI-Base units: Weights and measurements adopted the “International System of units” which is a particular choice of metric units and this system has seven type SI base units is “length, mass, time, temperature, amount of substance, electric current and luminous intensity” and the SI units from all others can be derived. Meter, kilogram, second, kelvin, mole, ampere and candela are the SI base units.

For example, SI base unit of length and mass is, “meter (m)” and kilogram(kg) respectively.

Current: The number of electrons flowing per second and it is measured by the potential

Potential: The energy associated with each electron.

Resistance: It is the hindrance to the flow of electrons in respective materials.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

How accurate is this analogy and what are some limitations for the given description of electricity have to be explained.
