list: a number of good and patient responses so far. slightly off the topic, but here is an additional point having to do with safety: any time an electric current is stopped abruptly by unplugging or flipping a switch, there will be a spark. similar comments apply to starting a current abruptly, although this is often less of a problem. therefore, making and breaking a circuit in the presence of atomized gasoline is an explosion/fire hazard. parenthetically, this is why it is dangerous switching lights on or off in a room where there is a natural gas/air mixture. dan
