If you put bicarb of soda on some bread and feed it to the seagulls they fly off and blow up mid air. They cant fart.

Another good trick is to put laxatives on bread in a well populated area, an aread populated with birds. Trafalgar square for eg

An Owl never calls "twit twoo". In fact the "twit" or more accurately "ke-wick" is a an Owls contact call and the "twoo" or again more accurately "hoo-hoo-oooo" is the male's territorial call. Consequently, if you hear "ke-wick hoo-hoo-oooo" it is most likely a male answering a female or another male!

Snails have two ways of having sex either firstly using a penis or secondary by using something known as a love dart which greatly improves the chances of impregnation but also increases the chance of death.

You said .... Look up ... There is a live and neutral conductor in the tank and it's the impurities in the water that is the resistance between them ..... The water has no effect on the resistance between them unless they are "exposed"

No not quite..

If your cable has a resistance of 5 ohms (that's a low resistance) and you apply 240 volts to it then divide your voltage by resistance 240 by 5 equals 48 so 48 amps of current flows through your circuit

So what you do is choose a cable that holds 10 amps, this will then heat up and glow hot and would eventually melt.

What stops it melting is the water you pass over it which will strip the heat from the cable

Of course it will heat up but it is the combined resistance of the wire and the voltage applied across it that determins the amount of current flowing through it...! You can't say piece of wire I'm gonna give you 30 amps of current that's just not how it works!!! if you put a piece of 1mm x 1000mm long Copper cable directly across a live and neutral supply it will bang like fuck pull huge current as in hundreds / thousands of amps for a split second or so before your trips blew ... If however the piece of wire was 1mm x 1000mm long and had the resistance of an average immersion heater let's say 20 ohms then it wouldn't draw quite as much ...240/20 =12Amps That's volts divided by resistance if you are unsure .... Your price of copper wire would prob be about 0.001 ohms you do the math

....1150watts doesn't come into it..

48 amps would be a 10mm square cable under 17th guides..

But if you did the calculations on ambient temperature, insulation and other variants you might find say 5mm would hold 48 amps... But for electrics you have to consider how much current you can squeeze down the cable under fault conditions as you would require alot to break your MCB in the allotted time allowed

"Please don't tell me you are an electrician of any kind!!! "High resistance means it can handle more current" who told you that a chap down the pub? !!!

Think about it if it has a high resistance it can handle more amps...you'll understand it one day!"

Listen im gonna try and end this debate before you make yourself look like more of a fool ! ..

If a wire has a higher resistance then it needs more potential difference (voltage) across it in order to pull the same current as a lower resistance conductor.the resistance has nothing to do with how much it can handle. Think about this ... Your cooker cable say has a csa of 10mm but your lighting circuit cable has a csa of 1.5mm the cooker cable is a much lower resistance but can handle much more current ... This is due to the shear size and power handling characteristics of the cable , nothing to do with the resistance of it . The resistance of the load on that cable will determine the current which flows through it .

I just wish this wasn't on a swinging site so I could copy paste it and give it to my apprentice to take to college and give them a laugh!!

Electricity simplified. Think of it like water

The current can be thought of as the speed of flow

The voltage can be thought of as the force of the flow, the volume of water.

The resistance is anything impeding free flow.

The power (Wattage) is the product of the current and voltage (volume); current * voltage (speed of flow * volume)

Anything placed into the system will, including the system itself, will add residence to the system.

In order to pass residence power must be used. Once power is used it can’t be used again so any increase in resistance will either reduce the current, the voltage (volume) or both.

And now they can both turn on me and tell me why I'm wrong.

Indeed you are correct It is a very commonly used comparison by lecturers. the voltage (potential difference) is the pressure of water at the source creating the flow the current being the volume of flow through the circuit . a capacitor compares to a bucket of water Like when you clean a car and you need a lot of water(current) at once you use a bucket instead of a hose pipe . A check valve compares to a diode a tap compares to a potentiometer etc .the comparisons are quite numerous

Does that mean that, because a capacitor has blown on my Panasonic PVR and I can't solder a new one in I could just try plumbing in the washing up bowl. Or am I carrying the analogy a bit to far? LOL

I hate to tell you the spiders one is a myth created by someone trying to see if the story would fly !!! some kind of research they were doing !!!

It's a common fault with Panasonic from about 5 to 10 years ago (this one is 6)

That's exactly what has happened except it's not on the power supply it's on the main board and it's used as a regulator (current I think) to the Digital Tuner. So no DTV any longer. I've tried doing it myself but I'm all fingers and thumbs when it comes to fine work. If I'm passing through King's Lyn I'll give you a shout.

It's bloody annoying knowing what to do but just not being dextrous enough to actually do it. grrrrr.

(Don't tell any of the women I said that last bit. LOL)

Is it surface mount or through board mounting? Either way no problem to be honest I used to repair brown goods a fair few moons ago I work with much larger things now but still have all the gear solder stations oscilloscopes etc and occasionally have to dig into my electronics past in my new job.. So if you can get the offending board out you could send me it with a replacement cap I would be happy to fit it for you .

It's through board mounting. I was hoping to be able to just snip the old one off and then solder the new one straight onto the stumps from the old one but, after burning my fingers about 20 times, gave up. I may try taking the board out completely and try to do it properly. If I have no luck with that I'll get back to you.
