Ohm's Law

I am not.  As I near retirement, I discover that much of what I learned in high school and as a liberal arts college student was wrong or at least incomplete.  The "change" in Ohm's law is just a tiny part.  My geology course never mentioned tectonic plates.  My astonomy survey course never mentioned dark matter.  The Freudian psychology I studied is now commonly regarded as quaint at best.  "Nanook of the North" is now regarded as a poorly made almost fraudulent film rather than a fine sociological study.  Margaret Mead is often now seen as a deceived and naive woman rather than as a great anthropologist. 

I suppose my frequent and deliberate on-the-air references to condensers, megacycles and the Class A phone bands are a reaction to this.

 I said "Sorry".  I too am approaching retirement.  You should see the faces on my students when I accidentally write E=IR on the board instead of V=IR.

Consider yourself lucky you don't have to deal with magnetism and have to deal with tesla's webers, gauss, and oersteds andwhich system of units they are.  It gets ugly.

and P = Power ; R = Resistance; I represents Amperes

E = Electromotive Force
The I stands for Intensity, BTW.

Is that what I stands for?

It seems to me that many years ago, I read that I stood for something else, but I'll be darned if I can remember what.

But I'll take your word for it, since I don't have a better explanation. :-)

It was too long ago for me also, I may be "remembering" the wrong word.  Yet again...

[KD0REQ]

then there's Schmo's law... if you hose up your Ohm's law calculations, all your answers are zero when the test comes back.

The thought occurs...
If...
E==IR then why even bother with E?
IR==IR.
I think therefore, I ARE!
Maybe, I can measure just how much I ARE with my VOM.
Just tried, and got 0.0 on the LCD display.
Which could mean that I AREN'T.
But if I AREN'T then you never read this.
Unless you AREN'T?
Maybe we all AREN'T!

Do You?

My head is still spinning....

Theoretical Physicists are indeed tackling the idea that this is a holographic universe...

isn't 'omes law' government housing policy?
