Analogy

Mains electricity is like tracking a system with arrows and numbers: decide what changes, what stays conserved, and what equation describes it.

Why now: An analogy helps when the definition feels abstract.

Do this: Match each part of the analogy to the science idea.

Learn it

Mains electricity in the UK is alternating current.

The live wire carries a potential difference relative to earth.

Fuses and circuit breakers protect circuits when current is too high.
