Pauluk, I love this stuff. Electrical sure is a thinking man's game.
So it appears to me that resistance goes up as the amperage increases. Kind of like forcing water through a sponge, as more water is forced through the sponge per second, the sponge resists the flow more, to where it takes more force to push the water through the sponge. Am I right? Eventually, the sponge must act like a wall, where it would take tremendous force to push the water through it.
You've certainly opened my eyes to some things I needed to know. Thanks to all of you, especially Pauluk, you really broke it down for me and it came at a good time. I've used my Fluke to check voltage, amps and dead shorts. Now I'll be using it to check resistance, and it sure opens up a whole new world.
Pauluk, you said "Your body will dissipate heat the same as any other load (P = I x E)."
Are watts basically heat given off by a device (or by my body if it's being electrocuted)?
