The developers have no real understanding of electricity
Response from developer
I have not responded to this review and thought I would just let it go. But, after a couple of years of no other reviews, I thought maybe I should. "anactualelectrican" is correct that there is always a voltage across a resistor, WHEN current is FLOWING through it (e = ir or Voltage equals CURRENT multiplied by Resistance). But, there are times when a resistor overheats and develops an open circuit within the resistor, in which the value of the resistance becomes extremely high or infinite. And in that case, all of the circuit voltage is dropped across the open resistor. A large percentage of sucessful electrical circuit troubleshooting results being able to use a voltmeter to find shorts or opens in the circuits. That is the purpose of this simple, but effective app. David
Not learning material
Response from developer
I totally agree with you. Anyone working on energized circuits, needs a thorough understanding of the relationships of voltage levels, arc flash, insulators and grounding to prevent a serious injury or even death. This app is designed to teach a person how to find the most common types of problems (a loose connection, a shorted component or a broken wire) that prevents a control device from working properly. This app is not intended to teach the dangers of electricity, but rather how to use a voltmeter.
Great free app that does what it says

April 23, 2021 Update: A new Electrical Troubleshooting app has just been Released. The name of the app is "Electrical Troubleshooting MS". This app is a fun learning tool to become proficient in troubleshooting a three phase reversing motor stater that is controlled with a PLC. ------------------- Thanks for taking the time to provide positive feedback and a 5 star ratting!

Perfect for early students!
