11 Potential VoltagePressure Electrical Potential (measured in Volts) on the electrical transmission system is analogous to Pressure (measured in Pounds per square Inch, PSI) on the water system.

12 Power Watts Flow Rate Electrical Power (measured in Watts) on the electrical transmission system is analogous to Flow rate (measured in GPM) on the water system.

13 Energy Watt-hoursGallons Electrical Energy (measured in Watt-Hours) on the electrical transmission system is analogous to Total Water Delivered (measured in Gallons) on the water system.

14 Characteristics of Electricity u Travels at the speed of light. u Cannot be “stored” – long term u Cannot be “routed”
