1357 - What happens when a battery connects to a conductor and forms a circuit at different voltages and resistance levels

Imagine water flowing through a hose. The hose is like a conductor, the water is like electricity, and the faucet is like the battery.

When you connect the hose (conductor) to the faucet (battery), water starts flowing through the hose. The water pressure (voltage) from the faucet determines how fast the water flows.

Here's what happens at different voltages and resistance levels:

When the voltage is high, the electricity flows more powerfully through the conductor. When the resistance is low, the electricity flows more easily. When the resistance is high, the electricity flows more slowly.

Think of it like this:

They all work together to affect how electricity flows through the circuit.
