This analogy of the tap is false if we apply it to closed circuits because there is no acceleration in electricity. We can use the analogy of Obelix and the Romans, that of supermarket checkouts or consider that the residence is like sand that will be deposited all along the circuit and reduce the possible flow. We measure in Ohms. +**Resistance** This is the diameter of the tap through which the water flows. The smaller the tap, the greater the resistance, and the less current it lets through.
