<> Here I will talk about electronic components and general electricity. I spent a great deal of time with the United States Army learning electronics in a military school. So I must insist that you read carefully and adhere to the safety instructions as they appear.

First thing when preparing to work with electronics is take of rings, necklaces, watches, etc. These things can attract electrical current and draw it into your body. If you don't you may have so really bad luck and I will not even be able to tell you I told you so because you'll be dead.

Now I couldn't figure out why people have their crazy Ideas on electrictiy. Most people only know you flip the little white switch up and the lights go on flip it down and the lights go off. Now ask them how many volts it takes to kill a person. You will never get a right answer, unless they answer .5 amps or more. I finally figured out why people are so eager to answer the voltage question. I was standing out side on a smoke break when I looked over and saw a sign. At first I didn't think anything of it. Then I looked at it again. Now it finally made sense. “Danger High Voltage” The association of these words makes the original question seem reasonable. Its easy to think danger = death voltage = cause.

TO BE CONTINUED…..
