From: dhg99908@hotmail.se Okay, here's anohter dumb quesiton. Say I have a resistor across the mains power supply. Say its 10k for argeuments sake. Mains here is about 115VAC. So the resistor will disspate 1.3 watts give or take by my rekoning. Now say I put a diode in series with the resistor. Does the power dispataion now halve? just curious. --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
