Do Wiggle Stick Meters Wear Out?

No. Modern slang.

That is what I said, you top posting dork. See now how your top post has messed up the flow of this sub-thread? NOW, you have to look DOWN below my response to see that I said "those rail caps take it full bore for some time..."

What part of "that is inrush" do you not understand?

I didn't need the primer, and if you intent to inform ALL of usenet, your response shouldn't have been some passing comment at the top of what YOU call a reply. If your intent is to inform ALL of Usenet, your reply SHOULD appear UNDER what you are replying to!

THAT WAY, you have instructed, not merely made a peanut gallery comment!

THAT IS WHY TOP POSTING IS BAD.

THESE ARE ARCHIVES, NOT CHAT BOARDS!

You said that the last time, RETARD BOY!

Your lame ass needs to fire up those three brain cells and actually do it!

Actually, just take a leap off of a tall bridge. That will cure any retarded twit problems, and you certainly have some...

Maybe you could provide more to these groups than peanut gallery commentary.

Maybe, although it's not my job to fix your mind. I thought the fat bytestard loved peanuts?

Said the retarded, puppy dog troll.

Man, it's been too many years since those classes! At first blush, it does look like the current increases linearly, but that's just because you're looking at a small portion of that e^-t time constant graph, right?

And I should be chastized for missing that misspelling. Shame on me! :-)

I've more or less solved the bottom-feede^H^H^H^H^Hposter problem. If I don't see any kind of new information in the first screen, such that it's just a repeat of what's gone before, with its little pyramids of angle brackets ad nauseam, I just skip it and move on.

Saves wear and tear on the killfile, too. ;-)

Nope,

Current rises linearly in a *perfect* inductor when you apply a constant voltage source.

and,

Voltage rises linearly in a *perfect* capacitor when you apply a constant current source.

No, it's just that I was thinking of series circuits (with almost anything in series with the inductor) and I misread the part where a constant voltage source was specified.

Yeah! tsk...tsk
