The law was named after the German physicist Georg Ohm who, in 1827, described measurements of applied voltage and current through simple electrical circuits containing various lengths of wire.
Water flow follows Ohms law, path of least restriction and all, water pressure is like voltage, the flow is like current flow, the size of the pipe is the resistance, and the faucet is a manual...
