I know the reference, I was referring to John Slade's laughable 
professional terminology (i.e., acid core capacitor).

Yes, and the percentage and chemistry of the metals used change too 
depending on the application.

I thought it was Ohm's law.

...get some now (precision rating).

Anyway, I *do* know about capacitors, and my comment was *because* of 
that fact. The "blasting" cap in the omitted part of that post was a 
hermetically sealed paper dielectric and foil axial capacitor. John 
Slade is the one that mentioned acid core capacitor.

BTW why are you replying to Dustin, quoting me, and telling John about 
solder?
