Mrs. Wife has two states of daytime existence:
1 - she gets called into work and earns money
2 - she doesn't get called into work and spends money shopping for baby clothes.
It's all painless from my point of view - until they get old enough to know that toys don't just come into existence when they find them . . .

Excellent news.
Can't believe how our lives changed when our first (and so far only!) grandchild was born. The joy she brings can't be measured - hope you get the same.

Change? Without a doubt. Not the same as how the world changed upon becoming a parent.
The first grandchild, however, had a prelude of trepidation. After all, one is changing their position in society to "Grandparent" - and it is different with respect to implied mental/physical state. Suddenly, you're part of a different generation. Irrevocable.
However -the damage was done with the first.
At that point, pragmatic acceptance: I decided I may as well collect them.

I'm working on Chapter 4 of Practical Electronics For Makers and I'm working the reader through some very simple circuits so we can see how resistors affect (lower) current.
So I set up the simplest circuit that is simply a 3V battery supply and one 10 Ohm resistor.
Fist I calculate the expected current value I will see using Ohm's law (E = IR).
3V / 10 Ohm = 0.3A (300mA)
I hook up the circuit to run through my multimeter so I can measure (and confirm) the value.
My meter displays:
157.7 mA
What?
Google...
Apparently meters have their own internal resistance.
I decide to turn Ohm's law around and calculate internal resistance.
3V / 0.157 = 19.10 (Ohms)
So it looks like my meter has around 9-10 Ohms of its own resistance.
Hmmm...
Measuring the measurements of a measuring device.
Of, course if I had higher resistance in my circuit I'd probably not notice this, because it is only 10 Ohms.
I posted a question about this on electronics stack exchange where you can see pictures and the circuit.
Multimeter, measuring current calculates less. Can I calculate meter's internal resistance this way? - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange[^]

Don't forget the internal resistance of the battery or power source.
9-10 Ohms sounds like a bit much for the multimeter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next time you'll measure the voltage over the resistor.

Maybe you need a more accurate meter:

I'm weighing 500 gr of rice. I put the scale to 0, and put the bowl on the scale. What's that, it weighs 153 grams?
It's called calibrating, and your measuring-device should know how to compensate for its own interference.
