    Sticking solinoid?

    Question: what are resistive volts and how are they identified? travelling from A to B along a given path volts will drop of proportionnaly to the amount of resistance they face. this is electrical fundamentals discovered by MR. Ohms who wrote the book on today's commonly used...
