Abstract: The A, B, Cs of electronics and the theory and components compared to their counter-parts in pneumatic measurement and control. Gas and electricity have a great deal in commontheir behavior, appearance, the manner of handling and their measurement. I will attempt to show how one is like the other and perhaps a better understanding of electrical phenomena and terms can be brought about. Their physical appearance is a good common point to start. I have never seen an electron in motion and I doubt if anyone has ever seen a molecule of gas or even a standard cubic foot of them. The effects of either yes, but those effects we will look at later. You will note even in talking about gas and electricity we find another likeness-electron and molecule. In definition a molecule is made up of atoms and the atoms are made up of electrons and protons, but the smallest unit of gas that can be discussed is the molecule and the smallest particle of electricity is the electron. A cubic foot of gas is a whole lot of molecules and a watt is a whole lot of electrons but bath are a standard quantity for sale.
