And you will please note that don't post them in the home inspection portions of the message board.

GET it?

But Roy thinks he is above all that rules and regulation stuff.

Please note how dear old Roy is always to first to start the name calling and innuendo barrage.

I remember that from school, and forgot it the day after the test ...

But Ohms Law is indirectly relative to home inspections. It's not that HI's need to know Ohms Law, but the basic concepts it represents are relevant.

It's used in the NACHI introductory electrical inspection course ... http://www.nachi.org/electricalcoursereleased2006.htm ... (and many other electrical inspection courses, including the one I teach) to help describe why you get a very high current draw at a low resistance (I=V/R)
