Hi again

Thank you all for the replies answering my question.

I have bought myself a digital multimeter, (i did already have an old analog
one).
I've also got a copy of Ohm's Law which i am currently (no pun intended)
absorbing.

Current = Voltage / Resistance. (I = E / R).

Resistance = Voltage / Current. (R = E / I).

Voltage = Current x Resistance. (E = I x R).

Power = Voltage x Current. (P = E x I).


I recently acquired a secondhand 20MHz Hameg 203-4 dual trace oscilloscope,
including x1 / x10 probes and manual, which will come in handy at some point
along the way in my new hobby.

I expect i will be back on this newsgroup to ask other important questions in
the (near) future but, for now, i'm off to do some more reading on this
facinating subject - i think i'm getting hooked.


Thanks again all
