"Hey, this is supposed to be a Virtual Workshop on Electricity and Magnetism! What is this section on fluids doing here?"
Fluids and electricity are similar in that they both flow. By learning how fluids behave, we will have a clearer picture what is happening inside the electrical wires.

Nothing seems to be happening. How can Joe get the water to run out of the ccontainer?
