Yes, in the upper left hand corner it should be Watts X Ohms (not
additive). Turn your head sideways. ;-) E=IR is what they taught me in Electrical Engineering school (and everyone else in the electrical field I believe), so, yeah, it is "out there". For me I simply cannot say "Voltage equals amps times ohms". V=AO sounds like a fraterity. Your mileage may vary and we both get the same values and don't melt wires and stuff. WARNING - Boring science content below... E = "electromotive force" (EMF) I = the German Intensität meaning "intensity". Go figure. Blame it all on Herr Ohm. At least the R still is the letter that starts resistance (which came from the German resistanz it seems). John "Eee equals Eye Are" DeRosa |
