2. Answer the following questions about Current, voltage and resistance. A. Suppose a watering hose is like an electrical wire, with water flowing through it, instead of electricity. If you were to squeeze the water hose or pinch it off, what would you be changing? [ Select] B. Let's take the same water hose, but this time instead of pinching it off, we are going to turn the water on higher, which pushes the water farther. What would you be changing then, if this were an electrical wire? [Select ]
