Meta Why are posts that users clearly approve of being closed?

One of the most annoying things about stackexchange has always been the borderline fanatic post closing or duplicate marking. Another question in meta was posed some time ago about the added value ...

Q&A Why is the resistance of water so high and still so dangerous?

Measuring the resistance of water from my tap I got 500kOhm. Adding considerable amount of salt brought it down to 20kOhm: The question I have is why water is such a danger for short circuits if t...

Q&A How long does it take for energy to propagate in a circuit?

Is the answer of 1/c seconds correct It can't possibly be. The question is looking for a time value. "C" is a speed, which has units of distance/time. "1/c" therefore has units of time/distance...

Q&A What is sacrificed when buying cheaper oscilloscope probes (of same BW/cap/R/gain)

I'm wondering if there are particular aspects of an oscilloscope probe's performance that tend to suffer, or failure points to look out for, if/when buying lower-end makes of oscilloscope probes (l...

Q&A 208VAC triple-phase to single-phase conversion

I want to convert the power from the wall from 208V triple-phase to 208V single-phase before feeding that single-phase into the transformer I got._ Try this using a 1:1, 208 volts isolation tr...

Meta Do we need tags for supply voltages?

I'll venture the opinion that tags should convey relevant information and function to separate questions based on relevant expertise. (The latter is the "I am an expert in tag-name" test from Elsew...
