Geocache Description:

Welcome to OHM's Law.. Right up Mr KC's ally, so don't blame Mrs KC for this one!!

Georg Simon Ohm (16 March 1789 – 6 July 1854) was a German physicist. As a high school teacher, Ohm began his research with the recently invented electrochemical cell, invented by Italian Count Alessandro Volta. Using equipment of his own creation, Ohm determined that there is a direct proportionality between the potential differences (Voltages) applied across a conductor and the resultant electrical current – now known as Ohm’s Law.

Using the results of his experiments, Ohm was able to define the fundamental relationship among voltage, current and resistance, which represents the true beginning of the electrical circuit analysis.

The very basic rule of Electricity and of course Electronics was developed by him. Resistance equals Volts divided by the Current. R=E/I

The creation of the voltaic cell, carbon resistors, cathode ray tube, semiconductor material, and now nano technology gives us this magical world of modern technology

ONCE YOU HAVE DECIPHERED THE PUZZLE: you will need to add 4 to the South co-ords and 8 to the East co-ords. The listed co-ordinates are 1-2 kms from the cache and you will need your own pen/pencil

The final waypoint will take you to a small, but not very well known park with picnic shelters and playground equipment. It is a popular spot for launching small sail boats and doing a spot of fishing (heed the signs)

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
