My name is Colin Neville from Dorset, I am not ‘Bob’

Lol, not sure why he didn't give the answer, since it was a simple series/parallel resistance calculation that even a first year electronics student could calculate.

 

Anyway, a quick calculation gives about 198.7 ohms and so using I=V/R, we get a current of about 0.12A (hope I haven't made any maths errors!!)

 

But I'm sure you didn't know the answer, did you Bob?

I learnt all that stuff in 1960 and 1961. Never used it since and have long forgotten how to do it.

i can neither deny or confirm that bob has arrived here at the farm in NK. our dear leader sends his regards. 

[save the frogs]

Bob likes to play mind games.

 

But he's a Mickey Mouse operation compared to all the mind games Trump has been playing you with.

at the farm here you are what is considered a weak troll. we appreciate your effort.

 

trumpi. a cheap inflammatory remark.

hi, since i have joined this forum i have seen many posters refer to me as bob. i have no idea who bob is and i dont know abyone called bob. my name is colin neville, 68 years old from dorset, I attended poole high school and graduated from dorset college majoring in electronics. whoever this bob character is it isn’t me, so please stop calling me that. thank you.

BOB , I got your message. I promise not to refer to you as Bob ok. Bob ??

Hey Bob.

Slow down. Learn to count. Start using capitals at the start of each sentence. And make your stories at least slightly believable.

Hang around "georgiageorgia" will have a session with ya!

My guess is 450 Ohms.  No idea whether I am correct as the last time I did physics was 49 years ago.

No problem, but completely wrong lol 🙂 .  Resistors in parallel always have a combined value that is less than the value of the lowest-value resistor. So 100 and 250 ohms in parallel will have a total value less than 100 ohms.

 

Anyway, this is not a Physics class! Perhaps Bob (I mean Barboy) could remind us of some of the topics from his BSEE course, since his lecturers seem to have forgotten to teach basic resistor circuit theory 🙂

Two B's in 'bar boy', just like Bob.

OK,  Bob, whatever you say.

 

But... if what you wrote above is actually true, then it was truly awful idea to post this...

Congratulations on graduating with a major in electronics.  Please tell me the total resistance of this circuit and the current:

 

If he is from Dorset, then electronics is limited to:

red to red and black to black,

switch it on and stand well back!

For anyone wanting to have a go: "Ohms law states that the current in any electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. Providing the temperature remains constant." 

At least it was in the early 1960s, Keir Starmer's probably gone and changed it now.

Hi Colin,

I am Spartacus 

 

[Pattaya57]

Forum owners must love Bob. Comes back as BarBoy, starts 2 threads which have 223 replies and 7.7k views. 

 

And all he's said is what Bob has said hundreds of times in that he gets drunk and constantly cheats on his wife with Ladyboys, which he doesnt think is gay. Real upstanding bloke 😀

Bob is a bot. In his I'm leaving today thread, close to the end, mgmt put out a poll whether to resurrect bob or not. Obvious.

If you are 68 years old, you were born in 1956. I can see why you would forget, being 4 or 5 years old. I think you are bob or boob.

I’ve resisted having a go….too tired now, need to recharge my batteries….but I’ll have a go tomorrow…….spark up a few brain cells.

 

Who are you kidding? You have pm'd @Crossy and he hasn't answered yet.

I am 80 years old and was born in 1944. I was taught that along with inductance and capacitance also in series and parallel in my first year of training as a Boy Entrant at RAF Cosford in 1960. I was also taught the resistance colour codes 

Black

Brown

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

But

Violet

Grey

White

 

Also a gold band was within 5% tolerance, silver within 10% and no colour was within 20% tolerance. Totally useless nowadays.

 

I also was born and raised in Poole, plus I went to Henry Harbin secondary modern  school from 1955 to 1955, when it was in the area behind the Poole Town football stadium complete with a speedway cinder motor cycle track, the old fire station, the old telephone exchange and the railway line.

 

Poor try, but I am neither Bob (who is on my ignore list) nor Boob whatever that might be.

 

I can tell you lots more about Poole but unless you lived there in the 1940s, 50s and 60s it would be completely meaningless to you.

Bill, as an 'old skool' shortwave radio ham, I use the resistor colour code almost everyday 🙂

I haven't been here long, but even I recognized Bobs standard two sentence reply, merely without his customary signature of a simple bob🤣

Don't cheat on your wife old bean and guilt wont be an issue. Or, divorce and it's also no longer an issue🤣
