Question

Which of these analogies correctly describe the electrical concepts of voltage, current, and resistance? (may include more than one, click as many that apply)

I think it's all 4, but I'm not 100% certain on one or two of them.

Voltage water pressure, Current flow of water, resistance size of pipes Voltage gravity, current bowling ball falling through water, resistance density of water Voltage- fire in a building, current- people calmly traveling through hallways to exit building, resistance width of hallway Voltage differences in temperature, current flow of heat, resistance insulation between temperature differences

Explanation / Answer

First one is the right analogue for the question:

Voltage is the potential difference between two points. Potential difference is also compared as water from higher level to lower one.

Current is the amount of charge flowing through the conductor. The flow of water from higher level to lower level.

Resistance is the property of opposing current flowing. This is similar to water pipes when reduce the size of the pipe the flow of water is reduced.
