Queen would have been without a front man
The other queen wouldn't have had a husband
Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea

Using a microammeter and low voltage power supply find the resistance of a person or even loop of people by measuring the potential difference across and current through them. It is a fun alternative to finding resistance of the usual components.

It’s often generational, during childhood if you have parents and or grandparents telling you that education is pointless (particularly further education) then you’re probably going to believe it.

I finally got around to making a new visual for precision and accuracy that doesn't use a target!! I'm looking forward to introducing these concepts alongside uncertainty in a way that is a little more authentic to scientific measurements 🧪

Mine are:
#1 - potential
#2 - field
#3 - anything to do with circuits.
