Default Re: Ferrograph 4A: Restoration advice needed

That's a great video, Lawrence! I remember in my A-level physics that I never grasped the rheostat/potential divider and their differences. That old USAF man explains it quite well.

Well, let's see - the DMM has a very high input impedance so as a 'load device' there is very little current flow, and its parallel resistance alters the other resistances very little too.

Am I on the right track? That man is so persuasive that it feels as though one understands every word, even if that may not really be the case!
