What’s a Watt?Presented by the Characters of Shrek

Hmm…How did you get down there and why are you standing under that leaky pipe?

Leaky Pipe

You

Well, this is weird. Fairy Godmother from Shrek is here.

She looks like she’s getting mad at you. I wouldn’t keep smirking at her like that.

Well, now you’ve done it

I don’t know why you’re still smiling. She will only open the valve further (decreasing resistance and allowing more water through).

Well I guess a little water doesn’t bother you. Apparently the force of gravity alone isn’t enough for the water droplets to be a nuisance.

?

Aha!!!

Well, this is an interesting development?

As long as she doesn’t start adding weight to the raft (force), you should be alright.

Looks like she outsmarted you. (I wonder if she can read this?)

Because of the added weight, the water is going to be hitting you with more force.

Well, at least Shrek isn’t on there, he would increase the weight (force) a ton.

So much for that…..

I told you not to make her mad.

Summary

Water flow through valve Electrical Current (Amps)

Force of Shrek Characters on Raft Increased Voltage (Volts)

Water Power (Flow x Force) Electrical Power (Watts = Volts x Amps)
