[Amps] Equalizing Epilogue

[R.Measures]

- - There are basically two types of equalizing, voltage and current.  
Voltage equalizing is needed for seriesed components which can be 
dominoed by one component receiving too much voltage.  A common example 
is a string of electrolytic capacitors -- wherein equal voltages are 
provided by a voltage-divider consisting of a parallel string of 
same-value resistors.
-  Current equalizing is needed for seriesed components which can be 
dominoed by too much current.   Current-equalizing seriesed components 
is a bit easier thanks to Kirchoff's current law which tells us that 
the currents are already equal in a series circuit.  .  .  In other 
words, when one has a lilly, attempting to guild it may not turn out to 
be a very good idea.  Or, if something doesn't need fixing, don't.
