The engineer glared resentfully at the offending dynamo. Exactly. Now, 50 amperes go straight across from thepositive, P, to the negative, N; what becomes of the other 10amperes that went from dynamo B out along the positive wire ?* It comes back through the neutral wire. Right. You repeated Ohms… … Now write it another way.The engineer wrote: E *Yes; now the third form.The engineer wrote E = C X R. Good. Now look at Fig. i. If the resistance of P from b to Dis -^j of an ohm, how many volts will be used in forcing 60amperes through it? Sixty times -^^, or 2 ^\ volts.Right. And if N is the same…
