Windsock,

Re: "This is really interesting. I guess the voltage at the source is the same as the
voltage after passing through a resistor. Voila, no voltage drop with a load."

Your analogy is correct as long as no current is being drawn (no load).
With a load, current will be drawn and there will be a voltage drop across
the resistor. Thus the voltage measured across the load would NOT be the
same as the source voltage ... I hate to break the "news" to Dan3, but there is
heat flow in his "closed box world". <ggg>

Make It So,
Yousef
