Changing watts or volts does the same thing?

[Alan]

Got a new Vamo...

Going with the old physics teacher's rule of P=IV (watts = amps multiplied by volts) would I be correct in stating that playing about with either voltage or wattage will achieve the same result, assuming the ohms can't change on your atomiser? That's if you can remember the other two equations that go with P=IV.

Boy was he a dull teacher now that I think back with his "walk on the left boy" and his "light that gas tap again and the belt will come out". But hey I suppose he couldn't have been that bad if I've remembered some stuff after 30 odd years.

This is true. Volts and Watts achieve the same outcome.

It is just simple terminology for people who do not know about electricity. Every body knows that a 60W bulb is brighter than a 40W bulb. They do not know that the 40W bulb has higher resistance.

Blimey I've only recently worked out how to change a lightbulb

Ahhh, but this makes a lot of sense, as it does in life too, as I know lots of people that are brighter than me, but dont have the same resistance to pain

Fair play to you Alan, 30 years ago, Ohms Law and Hooks Law etc, passed way above my head, as I was daydreaming at the back of the class as to wether Tracey Gray would let me get to third base at Lunchtime!!

She never did, she was just a tease

Pmsl - I could name a few from my schooldays too!
