    This is the way I understand Ohm’s Law, is like water flowing through a pipe:

    Voltage (V) is like the water pressure pushing the water through the pipe.

    Current (I) is like the amount of water flowing through the pipe.

    Resistance (R) is like the size of the pipe—if the pipe is narrow, it’s harder for the water to flow (more resistance).
