Could you recommend a good book on basic electricity and electronics?

I've had 5000 volts go through me at half a micro amp - did nothing more than contract
some muscles...

I wonder what home appliance would require such a massive amount of
wattage? If i remember correctly, 2 amps will stop your heart. I wonder
if plug covers are a steady sale item in the uk?

No the UK sockets are MUCH wider the voltage is 240 and 60 not 50 cycles. Max amperage
13, you do NOT want to take a jolt from this!

A quick question:
Does the UK standard "common" wall power plug looks similar to the
north
american one, but is slightly narrower? I wonder what voltage,
amperage
and the frequency they use...

Hi folks,
When I was back in the UK, I managed to amass quite a collection
of PC
power cords. Now I'm over here I'm stuck for them and local
stores want
to charge me ~$16 apiece.
Does anyone have any going spare? I'd gladly take them off your
hands at
the meeting tonight.
Alternatively, anyone know where I can get them for a more
reasonable>>price? I probably need about 5 or 6.
Cheers,
Chris.
Check Round-Again Software (on 17th Ave just west of 1st St.NE)
also - they
have bins of various cables at low prices. If memory serves, the
power cords
are a couple of bucks apiece.
