    Hi, I am completely lost with question 8 of the midterm exam about voltage drop. In module 3, unit 8 you talk about how to measure voltage drop and it seemed very easy to me, but on the exam you put in a complicated diagram. I see a load number 3 (safety) in parallel all by itself. Then I see another parallel circuit with two loads (booster and main). Here’s where I get confused. I see #4(main) also connected to the parallel circuit with the #1(ignitor). Now I say to myself #4(main) is connected to the voltage source from two different directions. You never explained how to deal with this situation. I need examples of more complicated diagrams about voltage drop and how to figure them. I get the easy stuff you drew out. Help!

    P.s I see you put a shunt in the diagram labeled (detector) now I’m thinking #4(main) is being completely bypassed, and the voltage drop of #4(main) is zero. Can you see how confused I am with this complicated diagram you put on the test?

    Ok, thanks. That helps.

    I know we need a circuit for electrons to travel. From negative to positive. So at one point is L1 negative while L2 is positive? Or is L1 and L2 negative and neutral is the positive?

    After watching this video, I’m still not sure how neutral functions. Are the electrons in L1 trying to get to neutral or to L2. And vice versa for L2 to L1. If so, what is neutral doing?
