Opened again.

I just want to mention the idea of this thread so that all are clear on that. I'm supposing this should be like the TV game show Jeopardy, which is kind of reversed, in that the host names the 'answers', and the contestants are to come up with appropriate 'questions'. So here in this thread one user names an 'answer', and the next one comes up with a good 'question' to suit that answer, and then he names a new 'answer' for the next person to reply to. The one who names the 'question' has to begin his sentence with a 'what is/who is/how" etc.

But please keep the 'answers' somewhat good and challenging, so it won't simply become a kind of spam topic.

All right, perhaps it wasn't very challenging, I'll admit, but at least there have been two posts without either naming the solution

How do we measure the capacitance of materials?

And your question was correct indeed.

psteve · Post by **psteve** » 22 Nov 2004, 13:54

[noone answered

'what are clouds made of']

StingZor! · Post by **StingZor!** » 22 Nov 2004, 18:29

ohms law is U=R*I

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 23 Nov 2004, 20:53

Isn't it R = U*I?

Or am I totally forgotten the good symbols here and/or formulas?

I know V = R*I exist... ( Voltage = Resistance * intensity )

psteve · Post by **psteve** » 24 Nov 2004, 04:41

I=current not intensity, mabey they can mean the same thing but they can also mean different things. Current being the number of electrons flowing through a point for a certain period of time, yes it could be seen as intensity but it's not really the correct word.

The question to my answer above is 'what are clouds made of'

New answer: Iapetus

Ye kopa, but this is very blunt, and maybe too easy, like you have much more than 10 secs or something to answer + internet... well you understand.
