Faldage sez: "Resistance is futile."

No, resistance is the potential difference, expressed in volts, divided by the current, expressed in amps, which result is expressed in ohms ... or R = V/I.

or Home Sweet Gnome

> potential difference... in ohms

This was known as Gnomes’ Law, but well-known linguistic processes have degraded the obvious sense of the original words. It measures small people's resistance to large palaces.

Gnomes’ Law states that palatial difference, expressed in Vaults, divided by the currency, expressed in Imps, gives the result which is expressed in gnomes (R, after the famous Swiss scientist Rich Gnomenn who conducted the early research).

Hence R = V/I. Gnow you gno :)


Resistance is utile!
