    This is a great answer, thank you! The water analogy always felt incomplete to me in highschool.

    So how do light bulbs work? I’ve always thought that the electrons bump into atoms of the tungsten, and the “friction” heats the filament enough to generate light. Since tungsten isn’t magnetic, I wouldn’t think that it would interact with the electric fields produced, but does it?
