Where do Ohm's Law and Kirchoff's Laws come into your model of things?
It was not my intention to discuss all the aspects of the E-field (... what goes on?...). In post#24 I have answered a question with two sentences.
Right otr wrong?
What do you mean with "model of things"? I really don`t know what you are speaking of. I did not describe any "model".
I simply have stated that there is an E-field within a resistive body which allows the movement of charges.
If you consider this as wrong - don`t hesitate to tell me.
As an engineer I am accustomed to clear statements (and I have problems with "...what goes on... and "...model of things..).

I know how to use a potentiometer. However, I was trying to explain to you where the name comes from (it is not a "potential divider")
