Star Trek & Physics Weekly Edition 33: Resistance {Please Reply - for any Corrections, Extra Info, . . . } ~Basic Math in Edition! ~Star Trek Connections!
E-MAIL: StarTrek_Master_Q@yahoo.com
Edition 33 -- Resistance -- In this weeks edition of Star Trek & Physics Weekly by Master Q I will continue to talk about the basics of electricity. We will look at resistance in this edition and its very basic math. And the ST omega molecule!
~~REVIEW W/ A BIT OF NEW INFO~~ Amps: Flow rate (how much charge goes thorough a to b) Amp is also called amperage When throwing in an ammeter it measures the difference of how the circuit flow reacts once you throw that resistor in it & it is the same with volts Volts: electric pressure Volt is also called voltage
~~"R"~~ "R" for Resistance is basically the deduction of charge or something that does not conduct as much as something else for example. Its unit is ohms and its symbol is the Greek letter omega.
\\\\Star Trek Connection: Omega Molecule//// [This ST science fiction molecule lives short and is very temperamental and might be in the ST universe the most powerful substance you could find. It was first synthesized by Dr. Ketteract. After a second it exploded not only destroying his station, but the fabric of subspace in that area. And its symbol is the same one for ohms or the Greek letter omega.]
R = (Delta V) / I
~~WHAT IS "DELTA"?~~ You may be looking at that equation and asking your self "What is delta?". Delta means the change in quantity or the difference of something. Like if you wanted to write what slope or m =’s using delta it would be m = (delta y) / (delta x) which means the same thing as m = (y sub 2 - y sub 1) / (x sub 2 - x sub 1).
~~BACK TO THE EQUATION~~ R = (Delta V) / I This means the same thing as Resistance = Voltage / Amps So all you have to do to find ohms (the resistance) is just divide the voltage by the amps. It’s that easy!
For the next edition we will get some more basic math using ohms, volts, & amps and give all of them some #s in both a series circuit & parallel. Then in 2 or 3 editions after this one we will move on to another subject!
Until Next Time I’ll See You In The Q Continuum Master Q

Sorry I have been away so long. A member of my family was in the hospitable so I had to do a bit of traveling so I had no time to come on the Internet. Have us in your prayers.

My only question is: why is it that (as we all know) resistance is futile?

LOL I should of named this edition "Resistance is Futile"
