These are some of my favorite myths I have encountered in my EE career...
1. NEVER mix Duracell and Eveready batteries in the same flashlight
2. Never leave your car battery on a cement floor, it will ground out and drain itself ( A metal shelf on concrete is OK)
3. Never use a wireless phone during an electrical storm
4. You are safe from lightning in a car because it isn't grounded
5. Cell phones use satellites to communicate (what are those big towers for?)
6. I need 100 ohm coax so I will just use 2 50 ohm pieces in series
MY FAVORITE:
7. For $20 you can by a rubber strip at the truck stop to ground your car and make it invisible to police radar. (Watch out for lightning though..)
