    Confused about Electricity

    If I have a 9v 200mAh battery. and I put a 10-Ohm resistor on it: 1.) does the current get divided by the 10: 200mAh / 10-Ohm = 20mAh :thinking: 2.) Does anything happen to the voltage? or does it stay at 9v? 3.) With does the 10k-Ohm resistor mean? I don't understand what the 'k'...

    Batteries with LM317?

    I'm building my first driver. I'm debating on using: 1 6v (lantern battery) 2 6v (lantern batteries) 12v adapter for an old land line phone. I would prefer the battery(s), but I don't know if that changes the Formula: 1.25 / .125mAh = 10ohm resistor Does the formula change if you use...

    Deal + Noob Reveiw

I can 'just'...

    Anyone know how to get astrology certification?

    Playing with lasers in doors is fun... But out doors is where the fun is. However, I do live in a city and I have neighbors. I'm kind, so I don't shine near anyone's house. But if I ever have a run in with police for my 'over 5mW lasers' I want to have a plan. BTW if there is a better way...

    Very first build looking for parts!

    I wanna build a very simple red laser 'pointer' However, I don't know where to get diode, driver, module, or case. I'm also looking for tips. For a 'bottom of the line' laser pointer. < 1-5mW. This first laser is so I can get some hands on experience so I'll know what I'm doing in the future...
