If you are one of the people who understand pictures better than words, this should finally bring clarity to an often mis-understood subject of electrical current flow.

Another way to look at this, is that VOLTS Is your undeniable drive to buy car parts,  OHM’s is your wife doing her best to slow the purchases, and YOU are the AMPS, trying your best to buy stuff anyway!

At first glance it looks like some sort of kinky S&M bondage thing.  Not an expert.

Watt?

There should be a law about this...

In matters of things electrical, I ain't the brightest light.   No one has ever called me "Sparky."  So in the furtherance of my learning I have a copy of Haynes Automotive Electrical Manual, wherein on page 8 the topic headline is "What is electricity?"  The answer given is "No one actually knows."

So now I know I'm not alone in the dark.  

Ironic, too, that Haynes is a British publisher.  Brings to mind an old saying:

"If Britannia rules the waves, then why can't the British build a car that can drive through a puddle without stalling?"

Mind you, it appears that the Brits were looking at practical implementations of electricity as early as the 1600`s -- long before the likes of Ben Franklin, Count Volta, Galvani, Volta and Ampere appeared on the scene.  In fact, they apparently invented the words, 'electric' and 'electricity'.

I've attached a word doc you might get a kick out of if you've dealt with Lucas Electrics on British cars.

One of the best reads I've had in ages, many thanks!

That concept has potential.... groan.

A lot of truths in this thread ?

Watts are the total number of babies created by Volts/Amps... 

Oh wait, wife is the OHM....  so, maybe it's the total number of car parts purchased?  lol
