    Default Beware the ides of March!

    Today was a day of religious observances in old Rome and also a day to settle old debts. Caesar found out about that.

    Any of you have any old debts you'd like to settle.

    I have one with this Black bear who lives not far away. He's been making a fool out of me for years.

    Also, can anyone tell me what I=V/R' means? The winner gets to take a bow. The author has a birthday today.

    Looks like a variant of Ohm's law but I'm not familiar with R'.

    Regarding debts, oh yeah, there's a list.

    Current is = to the voltage divided by the resistance

    I'm just happy that we've switched to counting the days from the beginning of each month rather than towards the beginning or towards a part of it

    Ohm's Law: I (current) is equal to V, voltage (usually expressed as E, electromotive force),
    divided by R (resistance).

    I=E/R I=V/R is the same thing.

    Well, I see we have a bunch of smart guys around here.

    You can all come forward and take a bow and accept the applause.

    You guys beat me too it.
    Being away with family caused me to miss the big question and loose the contest. And I use all 3 forms of ohms law in my other hobby, CB repiar. Its a lot of fun.
