Thank you, very neat. I hadn't come across this method.

Hi, im stuck in electronics 101, maybe you can help. I cant get over the fact that resistor placement doesnt matter, yet our thoery states electroncs moves like balls from one end to another. If that were the case, then resitor placement should matter, yet it doesnt... as in the case of a current limiting resistor on an light emitting diode. These thoeritical balls dont smash a LED like youd expect if you put the resistor on the wrong side, so maybe electrons dont behave like balls like we imagine? Maybe electricity doesnt even flow through wires like some science entertainers have entertained?

Nice 👍

I'm still much faster and more accurate doing the way I was taught in the 1970s...I have to write the numbers on paper by either method. Potential for error seems equivalent.

The calculator said another answer at the first exercise, why?

[@davemason6273]

New batteries required maybe!
