The Water Model

Let's take another look at our water circuit which still works as our analogy for an electric circuit:

Amperage is resembled by the strength of the water flow - that is how many water particles flow through the water wheel during a certain period of time. If we want to raise the strength of the running water, we have to use a broader water hose that leads to the water wheel:

What will happen to the water wheel if the strength of the water flow is increased?
