it is normal in these situations for you to post a question with your attempt to answer it. then you'll get help. just posting a "homework" question will not help you learn.

r1+r2 ;-)

Bit of both haha. It's practice questions that could pop up in the exam. So it's more revising than homework, there is just a few questions I need to go over again, double check there right.

try R1+R2. terminology fail there, mate.

OK. 2 methods.

1. using a wander lead, measure the resistance of the armour from one end to the other, R2.

2> short L and armour at one end and measure across them at the other. R1+R2.

Think there was a r/R issue though?? Daz

 

[mk1rob]

yeah my bad. R1+R2 is correct for terminology purposes.
