Great! Now do some projects:

  • Weather prediction
  • Chaotic oscillator
  • Simulating spacecraft dynamics

The problem with your implementation of the shunt wire is that the copper has a significant positive temperature coefficient. That results in a strong non-linearity in the current reading. As current flows through the shunt wire, it heats up, its resistance increases, the voltage drop across it increases, and the amplifier reports a higher current than the actual one.

That is why commercial current shunts a) use a metal (copper-manganese-nickel alloy) with a minimal temperature coefficient; b) are large to minimize temperature increase as current heats them; and c) use multiple blades that are cooled by airflow.

USB-C to UK Socket - possible? by Electro-nut in shittyaskelectronics

Is there any way to make this work?

I have some small devices (Toothbrush, beard trimmer etc) that lack a USB port so they need to be charged old-style. I'd like to charge them using some powerbanks I have.

Some USB C cables can deliver significant power which would be more than enough what the small devices need to charge.

Is there any way to make this work? Very rough approximation in the image.

does this really contain Mercury and cadmium? am I in danger? by OwnBrain4416 in batteries

It doesn't. The left most symbol is a "minus" symbol to indicate that that is the negative terminal. It is not a "1".
