Re: Fw: IML: Carter AFB running Question

The resistor changes, resistance and there-by voltage, by how much current it has to handle, and how long the duration is that it does so.Lower rpm=longer duration of point closing, more heat in the resistor, increases resistance= lower voltage, Higher rpm=shorter duration of point closing, less heat in the resistor= less resistance= higher voltage.I think if you review the OHMS Law, you'll see it does.Ya'll have a nice day, Dave.
