Tell me what Ohms law is without looking it up

submitted by Her0n to TellUpgoat 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 01:04:36 ago (+23/-2)     (TellUpgoat)

Too many retards here like to talk about electrical engineering and I'm irritated over the fact that they are completely wrong.

If you can't answer my title then don't say another word about electricity or I swear to fuck I'm calling the cyber police on you.

I hate all you dunning Kruger niggers

Voltage does the same in a different way. Care to talk about the differences with me?

[ - ] zr855 2 points 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 03:41:06 ago (+2/-0)

Voltage pushes the current (measured in amps) through you which is what kills you. No voltage=no current (amps).

[ - ] Her0n [op] 1 point 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 04:04:02 ago (+1/-0)

I like to make it simple; voltage blows chunks out your skin. Amperage cooks you from inside outwards!

Current is doing both those things. The voltage (difference) is what causes it to happen.

[ - ] Her0n [op] 7 points 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 05:46:48 ago (+7/-0)

Sorry but you aren't correct.

Higher voltage = more (risk of) chunks

Higher amperage = faster cooking.

Low amps, high volts = blown apart singed, raw throughout.

High amps, low volts = nigger dream cusine.

This is why it amazes me people will approach high voltage equipment without first running their non contact pen over it. Sure the grounding rod is supposed to prevent it being live but are you really going to trust some lazy Mexican didn't just chop the rod and put it in only a few inches?

[ - ] zr855 1 point 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 12:38:09 ago (+1/-0)

Current is literally a movement of charged particles. No stream, no pain. No flow, no go. Voltage pushes the current. It's as simple as that. You can have 10000000000000000000000 volts, if there is no movement of charged particles, you will have no chunks. You seem to think amperage exists in a vacuum on it's own. It does not. Look at the formula. What happens to current(I) if voltage is zero? I=V/R The formula exists for a reason. You will never have current if you don't have a voltage and the current will be infinitely smaller as the resistance increases.

Neither of these exist by the way in the way you're thinking.
Low amps, high volts = blown apart singed, raw throughout.
High amps, low volts = nigger dream cusine.

You're NEVER going to get blown apart with low current. It literally doesn't make sense. If the voltage is high enough to blow you apart, the flow of current through you would have been MASSIVE. The resistance of your body would have been way to low to overcome the massive voltage.

Also, usually you don't have high amps with low volts UNLESS you have very, very, very little resistance. You're not going to blow your body apart with a 9 volt battery.

You've gotten some incorrect notions in your head and it'll likely take a much better man than me to convince you otherwise but you should REALLY play with numbers in the formula I=V/R and maybe you'll see.

[ - ] Her0n [op] 0 points 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 16:14:28 ago (+0/-0)

There is absolutely no way that a human has enough innate resistance to keep anything greater than say, 35 volts (DC or AC) from pushing through the skin.

I get what you're trying to say, but you have to understand that since voltage = pressure the higher the pressure, the more chunks and the more potential for flow. Anything will conduct, as long as the voltage is high enough.

He’s right voltage isnt going to blow chunks out of anything without a current

[ - ] HeyJames 1 point 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 11:57:16 ago (+1/-0)

Correct. I've touched low current 480v sensing line on accident and yeah it scares the living fuck out of you but won't kill you.

[ - ] Her0n [op] 0 points 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 16:49:14 ago (+0/-0)

Anything over 35 volts will pass throughout the human skin. Anything over 600 volts will likely blow a hole in the average person.

This is why 35 volts is the cutoff for "low voltage" and 600 is "high voltage".

I'm talking about electricity flowing through a human body. In this case as voltage rises chance of chunks also rises. That's all I'm saying, but I do find it interesting to see who says what and how adamantly they defend their stance.

Without resorting to symbols, Ohms law states that the flow of electric Current—that is, energy per time—is proportional to a relative electric charge difference we call Voltage, and inversely proportional to the Resistance of the medium/material through which it flows.

Hopefully that would also explain it to a layman. I didn't want to use the word "potential" because I always confused the noun with the adjective.

Also not actually electrical engineer, just studied mathematics, so sorry if that was totally wrong (and fuck you for using j instead of i).

macroscopic: V = IR (You wire niggers love this form).

where V = pot’l difference between 2 points, I = current flow rate between those 2 points, and R is the charge-carrier resistance between those two point (which is a scalar in an isotopic medium, which is the only case you wire niggers ever think about).

microscopic/local: J = σE

where J is the point wise current density vector, E is the electric field vector, and σ is the material conductivity tensor, all evaluated pointwise.

How’s your Dunning-Kruger now, wire nigger?

Oh fuck, it's been years.

Ohms, Amps, volts.

Ohms is resistance and something something about half the voltage. That's all I got. My expertise isn't in electrical engineering, it has more to do with gas, volume and concentration.

Voltage pushes current through resistance. Not enough voltage to overcome the resistance and you get little current.

Regardless of whether current is pushed by 50,000 volts or 120 volts, 1 amp is 1 amp it's just much harder to stop the 1 amp pushed by 50,000 volts.

Assuming two equal measurements of current, you can think of voltage like a pump and current like water in a hose. Resistance is you trying to stop the water from coming out the other end. Assume the rate of water flow is the same, you can easily stop the water being pumped by a really small pump with your hand but a much larger pump you won't be able to stop the flow. Your hand is the resistance (the lightbulb or other electrical device that has resistance in an electric circuit).

[ - ] Hoobeejoo 1 point 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 02:51:47 ago (+1/-0)

Is that the law that determines how bright a bulb gets based on the resistance in the filament?
Like when the coil on the stove gets different levels of orange and heat based on how much resistance is in the coils. Doesn't Ohms Law measure this resistance?

I just going off what I think I remember from 7th grade science class. It's OK if you call me tarded.

[ - ] Her0n [op] 1 point 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 03:00:28 ago (+1/-0)

Increasing resistance does increase heat.

You remembered well from your 7th grade class

[ - ] Prairie 0 points 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 10:30:32 ago (+0/-0)

Increasing resistance does increase heat

The opposite actually. A higher resistance will pass less current at a given voltage.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 0 points 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 12:36:55 ago (+0/-0)

It depends on whether the “conduit” we are refering to is a wire delivering a current to, say, a bulb or human body, or whether the conduit is the bulb or human body. The bulb lights up because it has higher resistance than the wire. Your body gets fried for the same reason. But if you made the wire out of nickel instead of copper is would have higher resistance and deliver a lower current but it would heat up

[ - ] Prairie 0 points 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 23:11:15 ago (+0/-0)

That's because you're varying something else in addition to resistance, i.e. voltage (when the resistor is part of a divider, e.g. when a heater is plugged in).

Given a voltage source (i.e. the wall outlet), increasing resistance of your filament or heater coil decreases the current it draws.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 0 points 2.5 yearsOct 17, 2022 16:06:55 ago (+0/-0)

Yeah okay if a person gets electrified and cooked by touching a high voltage line, it will get a lowered voltage if I try to plug a toaster in to his ass, because you are loosing energy in the tranfer to kinetic energy.

I just dont know why you said he was wrong to say increasing resistance increases heat. I guess this is a frame of reference issue, but reisistance releases heat. You are getting cooked by your body’s resistance to the current, and if resistance somewhere else in the circuit reduced the voltage, that would release heat too.

I used to vape and make my own coils so I used ohm's law to calculate a resistance that would generate enough heat based on the specs of high-discharge 18650. Basically its a formula to get the resistance, power or voltage based on two of those variables. ((V * I = P) if I recall correctly).

[ - ] PostWallHelena 0 points 2.5 yearsOct 16, 2022 10:32:17 ago (+0/-0)

It works like a water pipe.

Voltage is the water pressure

Resistance (ohms) are the width of the pipe.

Current/amperage is the flow rate— a function of pressure and width/resistance

With alot of resistance the “pipe” heats up.

Conductors like copper offer low resistance. Your body offers higher resistance and gets cooked.

Don’t be such a snob.
