Same, by the time you need to explain how transformers use electromagnetism, they probably understand the basics of V=IR which is really as far as the analogy goes.

Could a turbo-pump can be thought of as a very bad transformer? able to transform a flow mv1 at a pressure P1 to mv2 P2 where their product, power is constant (except its way more lossy).

Still, I think the water analogy is over used
