It is a good exclusive guide for discovering how to repair your electronic items without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got cool results with it.

    hi. i have a question.
    when measuring current how do you know how to remove the resistor to measure current? this is bad wording sorry. like sometimes you removed it and left the end jn the open, ither times you moved it a space down. does it result in the same current?

    • @mperez7974
      @mperez7974 6 років тому +1

      the ammeter shorts the resistor. The current will go through the path of least resistance (the ammeter) so you must break the circuit in order to avoid that.

    I am in the infancy stage of Electronics 101. To this point, I need a major clarification on battery voltage. I want to use a 12V battery with a breadboard to closer simulate the 15 volts across the rails on a HO scale track .... My confusion: .... You see many of these tiny, rectangular, 9V batteries being used with breadboards. A riding lawn mower typically has a 12V battery which is considerably larger than the tiny, rectangular 9V battery, yet the voltage comparison is 9V to 12V. Adding to my confusion is a 12V car battery which has the same 12V rating as the riding lawn mower battery, yet the car battery is quite a bit larger and heavier. What am I missing that differentiates between these voltage readings: 9V rectangular battery versus 12V mower battery versus 12V car battery. Thanks!!!

    • @CALettsomePhDPE
      @CALettsomePhDPE  5 років тому

      Hi Aodh! Sorry for the confusion. I am not sure what you mean by run backward. If you mean decreased, that can happen sometimes when the connection is not good and there is a temporary loss of connectivity between components or the multimeter. If you mean change direction (a change from positive to negative or negative to positive), that will only happen if the electricity is AC. I hope this helps.

    • @CALettsomePhDPE
      @CALettsomePhDPE  5 років тому +1

      Hi Alexander,
      This is a tough question to answer without knowing all of the information related to your circuit. With the limited information that I do know, it sounds like the switch is not only a switch or perhaps the charger has a significant amount of resistance relative to the two resistors in parallel.
      You will need to check:
      1. What the output resistance/impedance of the charger. You may be able to get this by looking at the specifications written on the charger or finding the specifications for the charger online.
      2. Obtain the datasheet for the switch and see if there is more to the switch, meaning are there other components in the switch. You will need to obtain the datasheet for the switch to know this.
      I hope this makes sense.
      Good Luck!

    IDK if anyone can answer this but whenever I measure the current I'm getting the same current though out all the resistors.

    • @CALettsomePhDPE
      @CALettsomePhDPE  5 років тому +1

      The only way theoretically that the currents should be the same is if all the resistors in parallel are the exact same value. In a real world experiment if all the parallel resistors are the same value, they will have approximately the same current.

    How to measure total current?

    • @CALettsomePhDPE
      @CALettsomePhDPE  5 років тому

      Total current is I1 + I2 + I3 or you can break the circuit after the power supply. You can then test for total current at the break. If this does not make sense submit a question on my website. See this video (ua-cam.com/video/N_vqCYHPlkc/v-deo.html) to understand how to do this.
