ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cable theory

Cable Theory is a way of thinking about how electricity moves around. It is like how a long cable is made up of lots of little wires all bundled together. Electricity travels along these wires like a water flowing through a hose. You can think of the water as electricity, and the wires as the hose. Just like water, electricity flows in one direction down the hose and away from where it came from.
