hello im new here and so far learning alot about electronics, would like to thank anyone who contributed to making this site..
Anyways i think i found something in volume 1 basic concepts of electricity
"In a normal lamp circuit, the resistance of a lamp will be much greater than the resistance of the connecting wires, so we should expect to see a substantial amount of voltage between points 2 and 3, with very little between points 1 and 2, or between 3 and 4."
to me (a newbie) it seems to say that the lamp actually makes the circuit produce More voltage. I thought that voltage is directly correlated with current (it says current is constant in a simple circuit) so how could you have "very little" voltage between points 1-2,3-4... unless im not reading it right, maybe it was supposed to say "we should expect to see a substantial amount of voltage drop? between points 2 and 3"
Hopefully its not a stupid thread and im not wasting someone's time haha
