the formula is called Ohm's Law. E=IR
where E=voltage I=current R=resistance so then, I=E/R or R=E/I meditate on that for awhile until you see the relationships as you leave one factor constant and change another ... it should fall into clarity. try writing out some sentences that states what's going on: if the voltage is fixed, then raising the resistance (decreasing the conductivity) decreases current flow. for a given resistance, raising voltage increases current and vice versa. and like that. > -----Original Message----- > From: Neville [mailto:nevillem...@bigpond.com] > Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2008 8:28 PM > To: silver-list@eskimo.com > Subject: Re: CS>TO WHOM IT CONCERNS. > > > Morning Chuck > > Yep, I can immediately see from that that I have it about face. > I am always > working the two together, ie; voltage and current, and maybe this > is where I > am getting into strife.
