Volts give the push. Amps are the actual flow (charge per second). Ohms try to prevent the amps from flowing (technically restricting the charges from flowing).

I thought Ohm was tightening the waist, like a corset, so Amp could get through. But, maybe I was distracted.

This is good, but it would have been nice if the symbols were more consistent. Like Volt gets a lightning bolt on her thigh... Cool. Ohm, while the sexiest in my opinion, gets an Ω on her shirt. So the under boob is great, but it's really that smile. Finally, Amp. What going on here? Those ruddy cheeks are awesome. The rope is pretty cool too even if it's not my thing. But where's her symbol? I don't particularly want to imagine a scarlet letter A.

Honestly, the inconsistency was a bit turn off.

Well... If you made it this far and think I'm missing the point, I hope you now realize I'm just taking the piss.

Why is Ohms such a bitch? Let her flow.

Oh I understand Ohm's law, I just throught the picture was yellow fisting green while the resistor (2.1 kΩ?) held her in place.

Cause Amps can be a serious bitch when she really gets going, you've got to keep her in check.

The safety is dependent on ohms law, so the infographic is still useful

It helps to think of it in terms of water flow. Resistance is the size of the pipe, volts is the water pressure, and amps is the flow rate.

Although resistance is an inverse relationship to pipe size (the higer the resistance, the smaller the pipe).

This image is replacing the water analogy with anime women.

Spoiler

I have no idea how much of this information is slop. I think it's funny that ChatGPT made a decent attempt at this.

You can downvote if you want, meatbags, but I think it's funny.

Also, it wouldn't let me make them scantily clad.

I learned trig from a pornstar sitting on a stool with nothing but flash cards and socks on. Yes her clothes were flash cards yes it was a game, yes I was horny enough to ace my trig exams. No I don’t remember the name of the game, I’m sorry.
