Default Re: Resistors for high voltage applications

As with so many things in the field of pulsed power we learnt all this from Charlie Martin's group

That's a really interesting obit.

It did occur to me that a chain of identical resistors would be self-correcting, but of course, for a DVM with 10M input, the R's would need to be well under 1M to avoid the loading, and the probe becomes a bit impractical!
