WATER CIRCUIT
Boiler gives heat energy to water and pump pushes it around circuit. Water flows in only one direction around circuit. Rate of flow same at all points. Energy (heat) lost by water is gained by radiator.
ELECTRIC CIRCUIT
Battery gives electrical energy to current and pushes it around circuit. Current flows in one direction only around circuit. Size of current same at all points. Electrical energy is converted to heat & light by bulb.
The analogy can be developed further by introducing the idea that the electric current consists of a flow of electrons moving around the circuit. These carry the energy and distribute it to the load.
