Here are some useful symbols that people might like to cut and paste for any future discussion - that's about all I can manage at the moment

°C ² ³ ¼ ½ ¾ δθ λ μ π ρ σ ω Ω Ø

Did you know that Kirchoff's Voltage Law states that the sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop in a network must equal zero. And that his Current Law states that at every node, the sum of all currents entering a node must equal zero.

Obviously this has no bearing on the original question, just thought I'd enter the Geekhood.

Is this a good time to mention Thevenon?
