| Hertz flow-frequency (Hz) | Measure of frequency. It is how often something repeats itself |
| Volt flow-force (V) | Measure of voltage as the pressure that pushes current |
| Amp flow-rate (A) | Measures current as rate of flow through a conductor, similar to water flowing through a pipe |
| Ohm (Ω) resistance | Measures resistance. Resistance opposes the flow of electricity in a circuit, like friction in a pipe. |
Hertz would be like how often you squeeze and release the trigger (cycles per second).
Volts would be like how hard you squeeze the trigger (water pressure).
Amps would be like how much water flows out per second (volume of flow).
Ohms would be like how narrow the hose nozzle is (resistance to flow).
