Hi Martin, Thanks for the mail. I'm not totally sure about this but I was always told that it is from the French 'Intensitie' (Intensity) - the effect that...
Good question that. I can easily see that resistance (R) and Voltage is V, but is the deal with Current (I). Btw we are always bombarded by inquisite...
Good question that. I have always been wondering, but easily could tell that for resistance it was R, and for voltage it was V, pretty much the first letter of...
Are the activities in class forcing us to teach to the exam requirements? Are the exams neatly tied to the curriculum as we understand it? I believe we need to...

Martin, I know this may seem obvious but have you thought of beginning lessons with a question about the matter to be discussed? I and others have found that...
Hello Oppress, I believe the positive 'nature' of current flow is attributed to Benjamin Franklin, whose scientific ideas were apparently better known than his...
