let me put one thing clear: you are not entitled to our help. we hang around here because we like talking about stuff, not to wait for people asking questions and quickly answer them.
A 7 year old question was just answered. Fundamental question about a BJT emmiter current question. This one deserves more than just my +1 vote. electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/95898/…
Silly people who say "It's not the voltage that kills you, it's the current", I counter with the following: It's not the voltage that kills you, it's your lack of situational awareness and failure to maintain a safe working environment.
...the "renaming" thing the tutorial describes doesn't work for me with nonconsecutive netnames but I just confirmed that busses otherwise works as I described them.
@rdtsc Speaking of close-and-eye methods. In the early decades of cold war, drivers and bomber pilots wore a patch on one eye. If they got flashed by a nuclear explosion, they had one eye to come back to.
@Asmyldof Imagine if Hasbro starts selling brightly-colored transformer kits (core, bobbin, mag wire, insulation tape) and makes some cartoons about them.
Our Initials on a PCB, blasphemy ! Gawd did we get in trouble for that. But when you have been handed god-like powers from BoB Galvin, you can get away with a lot :)
@PlasmaHH . maybe not most expensive thing destroyed : Working on site repairing an 800 KW induction heater. Unknown to me the customer had removed the trip unit from the 1600 amp circuit breaker (making it a switch only). Using a drop lamp (120v torch) for illumination, I hung the drop lamp on the stack of rectifiers. Yes, the housing is metal. Forgot it. Turned on CB (now a switch). Huge flash arc.
I don't know if I've ever seen a bypass capacitor recommendation in an op-amp datasheet. I think analog engineers are supposed to be real men who can calculate their power supply source inductance with their teeth.
