    The way I was taught...

    W= Power (Watts)
    I= Current (Amperage)
    V= Electromotive Force (Voltage)
    R= Resistance (ohms)

    W
    _________
    I * V

    W = I*V
    W/I = V
    W/V = I

    then there was the resistance triangle too

    V
    _________
    I * R

    V = I * R
    V/I = R
    V/R = I


    Over the years here in UK they have messed with the education system loads
    It would not surprise me if this kind of info is missed off the curriculum entirely

    Just by the way all you FAN boys ...when you put a fan in open air it will pull a lower current than when you put it on a rad. If you want to demonstrate this lay your fan on the bench blowing down and measure the current then do the same standing the fan in free air. Ok so it is not huge but it is different just the same...The higher the density of rad finnage the higher the current will creep

    Anyone know if there is a mod for the original Lamptron fc2 to stop the induced motor noise?
