    Same artist draws about computer science too btw.

    Lisanne_waifu drew TCP as an organized anime girl drinking water normally while UDP as another anime girl waterfalling it very fast at the cost or spilling a bit on her clothes.

    Help me step-volt, I’m stuck!

    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.

    What are you doing volt-san!?

    I still don't understand this. But I'm not upset about that fact.

    The hydraulic analogy is better (accuracy-wise)

    I absolutely love the the hydraulic analogy, and my advancing age and the 'tism compels me to share a story.

    I was a science major and worked as a tutor through college. Intermediate physics was required for all science degrees, so basic electrical theory consistently came up.

    What I love about the analogy is it's actually not perfectly analogous, but the differences become obvious once the initial concepts are understood, then those differences help students figure it all out. Its imperfection is actually what makes it perfect, and my nerdy side just loves that kind of stuff.

    The students that argued with me the most about how it was a shit analogy were my favorite because they'd so frequently knock it out of the park come exam time. It was like the academic equivalent of hate fucking.

    I didn't understand anything and now I'm horny. Did I do a science?

    Now I want to see them explaining the fractional hall effect

    It's a reference to this image that has been shared in so many different schools around the world:

    Current (measured in amperes, or amp) is the flow of charge. emf (volts) is the energy supplied to a circuit per coulomb of charge (coulombs being the unit of charge. Current is coulombs per second). Resistance (measured with ohms) restricts the flow of charge (conductors have low resistivity, insulators are high. Resistance increases with length and decreases with crosd-sectional area)

    Ohm's law is V = IR (or, with current isolated, I = V / R)

    I'm sure a lot of semiconductors can be explained via "Help, step bro, I am stuck!"

    Damn I’d gotten a A+ or F+ if I was Electrical Engineering courses. Sex not only sells but also educates at a decent amount of topics.

    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.

    Oi! How did you manage to steal this fine artwork from Michael Faraday's secret lab books? They're kept under lock and key at the Royal Society Institution!!

    Edit: correction.

    That is more confusing for me.

    I'll stick to the river analogy

    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.
