Not too sure since I'm still tryin to get into the trade, but I went on a ride-along with a trouble guy once and he didn't seem to have anything bad to say about them. All the trucks have gone...
Around here the utility uses some nice lookin Internationals.

My best advice if you don't understand something would be to never say to yourself "I don't get this," instead say "I will get this." And like you're doing here, ask questions. Sometimes one person...
I=Vs/R1
I=??
Vs=85 Volts
R1=9000 Ohms
I=85/9000=0.00944 -or- 9.44mA
Well I'd like to say multimeter, but that's a household term i think, so my final answer is ammeter.
Hmm can't recall my voltage drop stuff, gonna need some help on this one. (back EMF?)
Thanks, and definitely, keep em coming, this is good practice for me too. BC Hydro just posted their openings for this years apprentices here so hopefully I'll be putting this stuff to good use soon...
Let's see, P=V*I = I^2*R = I*I*R therefore V=I*R so:
I=V/R
which means:
as voltage increases, Current increases (ie. 3/4=0.75 which is greater than 2/4=0.5), and
as resistance...
