T o get an idea of pressure and resistance, think about turning on a tap attached

to a hose pipe. If you turn on the tap a little way, no water comes out of the

other end of the hose pipe because the pressure is too low. Now gradually turn

the tap further to give a higher pressure and you nd that water will overcome

the resistance of the hose pipe and emerge from the far end.
