I think referring the OP to Ohm's Law is apprpriate
in this case, and helpful. You're welcome to address
each and every one of his questions (which, I might
add , you somehow neglected to do.) How exactly
did you help the OP ? It seems to me that we both
said the same thing in different ways. As I recall I went to great trouble to explain current flow
convention and polarity. Did you address his questions ?
Of course you could just ignore him and feel free to try to learn things from here by asking questions. Many of us are happy to help.
So your post is helping and mine is not ? How does that work ? Would I be posting if I didn't want to help ?
I think I thought that the power supply was just providing the voltage without interacting to keep the GND. Is this incorrect?
Think of it like water flowing from a tank through the pipes to your faucet but instead of going into a sewer
it is recirculating back to the tank.
While that is not a best analogy, I'm not the first to use it.
As far as my comments about your questions, do you think it is best not to tell a newbie when their
question does not make sense ? I am interested in your feedback on that .
I'm not sure what you truly want me to take from your comment
I think I made it very clear that I want you to study Ohm's Law. Was that not clear ?
I was asking for help in understanding what I was missing, not to be told that I was missing information
Was it not clear that what you were missing was Ohm's Law ?
I don't know how else to say that. You made no indication that you understood that or plan to
study it. I'm actually confused because I frankly don't understand how you can understand what
you are missing if you don't learn Ohm's Law. How can you be told what you are missing without
telling you what you are missing ? (ie: Ohm's Law) Can you explain that for me ?
