  Sometimes a helpful analogy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_analogy#Voltage.2C_current.2C_and_charge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_analogy#Voltage.2C_c...

  I think the best intuitive description of power and energy is what Elon Musk said: "Energy is how far you can go. Power is how fast you go."
  • Animats 9y ago
    No, power is how fast you accelerate.
    • bhnmmhmd 9y ago
      Actually, power and velocity are connected as follows: P = F . v where v = velocity, F = force, P = power
    • cygx 9y ago
      At constant force, Musk's statement is exactly true: s = W/F v = P/F

  I cannot bear people using the argument "you look like a fool" .. this is irrelevance to the fullest. He should now do a video on Work.
