.....
It will mean bog all to me in practical terms but would be interested in an example if you have one? Just to see how sacred i get....   :y .....

It's not that bad, nobody has to give their life!!  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Its invisible. Cant see it, cant smell it, hear it,taste it, but touch it and you'll bloody know about it usually.

Add in my rather unique learning style, the fact i need to see how it works to sus it, and i'm struggling. The water flow thing seems to help sometimes but not always.

Having said that i aint that dim, and if others can do it then so can I, to a level at least.

Appreciate all your input so far. :-)

Actually, I think Debs said she'd made one of these...

That will be ok for working on the car and very basic household electrics (eg, checking you have 230V at the socket), but don't consider using the ammeter part as it is quite restrictive in what it can measure.

ah, so its not called an amp meter then?  :-[
And has differant sections? As in the am meter part mentioned above.

Think i better read the guide at the start of this thread and go from there. Havent had time to scratch me arse this week.

Cheers all. :-)

The sections are called ranges.
If you wanted to check house electrics (for voltage), you would select AC Volts (the V with the squiggly line above it), and have the other switch in position number 4.

For car electrics, you'd move the top switch to the middle position (V with one solid & one broken line), and the second switch would go to position 2.

Lol....well get a grasp of Integration by parts to support fourier series and complex numbers to support full J notation calcs to work with inductors and capacitors.

Blast soem fourier transforms in to support analogue control and Z transforms for digital control.

Working with imaginary numbers isn't that difficult TBH, but that crap doesn't count for what Chris wants to know.

He wanted help with electrical.....j notation is the basis of electrical.

If you want to talk basics of electrical, then we need to start with the atom.

However Chris doesn't need to know any of that crap, he just wants an easy lesson in understanding basic cuircuitry so he knows where to find 12V at any given point in his car.

And hence why a sparky is not a real engineer.

If you start with the atom and move onto the electron, then you really will confuse him  ;D

Blimey, that takes me back.

Thought I'd finished with complex numbers and integration when I finished A levels.  Then ended up covering a load more when I did 224 (Pts 1,2 and 3).

Hope I never have to deal with that stuff again ;D
