    Okay Susan..

    Thanks for that.

    Hi Susan..

    Thanks for your reply..
    Sorry I said Sam instead of Scott.

    I am wondering what route did Scott take to get the DC supply from the battery pack to the negative and positive terminals of the circuit.

    Did it run along where the red symbol line for DC in wires, and what is the blue connector in the middle of the red symbols for?

    Thanks for help.

    Sorry Susan..

    Yes I see it now..
    I was reading the black dot, beside the answer as a decimal point…

    Thanks very much for that.

    Yes Susan…

    That 10 ohms was the heating element..

    Thanks very much for that..

    Okay Susan.. Thanks for that.

    Heat generated by the 10 oms connection = 23.8 X 23.8 X 10 = 5664 watts.

    Hope this is correct..

    Thanks for the help.

    Okay Scott..

    Thanks for that.

    Hi Susan..

    I thought about question again.. It was my fault I did not get it..

    I used an extension lead, I did not open the lead out fully.

    I had around 100cm length of lead plugged into the extension lead.. with spades on the end of it, to put on the element.

    The spades was where I had 235v..

    When the spades were on the element I had 228v with the working load.

    Thanks for your help. Denis.

    Thanks for your reply and explanation of what could have happened..

    I measured the 235v with a fluke clamp meter..

    I did not know about Loz at that time.

    Thanks again.

    Denis.

    Hi Susan..
    Sorry my mistake, in unit 4, second video 7 minutes in..

    You said, That is the power supply, there will not be any unused voltage, if you only have one load in the circuit, the voltage drop will equal the voltage supply to it.

    The voltage drop of the 40-ohm load is 48v.. I can see that the 48 + 72v = 120v.

    When I done my test a few months ago, i had power supply of 235v.

    I had an element 24-oms, with 9.5a, and when I put my meter across the element it was 228v..
    This was where i was a bit confused at the time, there was a difference of 7v between supply voltage 235v and the voltage across the load 228v..
    Sorry if I am making things difficult.. Thanks for your help.

    Hi Susan..

    Thank you for your informative reply..

    I remember doing a test on a ring before, checking voltage supply..

    Then checking the voltage across the load with the same voltage supply to a heating element and every time I checked it, it dropped a few volts.

    I think you were saying before that there would be no voltage drop when there is only one load in the circuit.

    Should I have been getting the same voltage in the test on the ring as the voltage supply.

    I know if I do ask it, I might be wondering about it down the road..

    Thanks for you help.

    Hi Susan,

    Thanks for your reply.. That is fine.

    Thanks again.

    Denis.

    Hi Susan..

    The answer to question 4. is glass.

    The answer to question 14. is choice 1. It is the voltage difference related to a load that is actively doing work.

    Kind Regards.
    Denis.
