'Electrical Engineering is about what you can do to a voltage. Sensors help take the real world, and turn it (somehow) into a voltage. Then you can amplify or divide it, add or subtract it, compare it, and more.'

<< This picture is a simulation of how the electrical fields (and currents) would flow from a charge on the left to a charge on the right through the 'U'. By Dr. James Nagel, PhD UofU
