Ha, thanks about that. I knew I was going to screw something up like that. I think it's fixed now.

Yeah, I know that's kind of a bad question, but I just found that answer here: http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_1/chpt_3/4.html (Scroll down to review)

Well it's probably worth some kind of clarification, and Id really dispute that, maybe if you found OSHA or UL/CSA requirements about hazardous voltages if feel better. But the scars from my 600v AC shock tend to disagree with the notion that something like 30v could produce something 'dangerous' unless it's under very specific circumstances.

This question probably should be thrown out, and feel free to do so when you take the test. I'll see if I have time to change it, but the source itself states it so broadly ("Any voltage above 30 is generally considered to be capable of delivering dangerous shock currents").

Oooo are we talking about how one can die from electricity? I'm pretty sure if you unloaded an ultracap into a person, they could die... Also a marx generator pulse... I like electrocution!

For shock value, would anyone like to share info on multicolored circuits? They are confusing the living daylights out of me, and I wanted to know if anyone knew if it is necessary knowledge for states or not. Haven't seen it yet.

Also, does anyone have a list of people who made major electronic breakthroughs/discoveries?

What do you mean multicolored circuits? Like the resistor color code?
