Combining Andre's current, once realised
To Allessandros's potential, once energised
Will, on the right day, render you a prize
If young Georg's current rule is then applied


Should be a 4 digit number?

Should be a 4 digit number?

These are partial first names of Ampere, Volta and Ohm respectively, but the only current rule I know is Kirchhoff's and he was a Gustav.

But then I was never much good at crossword clues. Is it just a roundabout statement of V/i =R? Surely not.

That's what I thought, I can't get my head around it

My guess would be Watt.
IE = P
Ohm's law
IR = E

which means
I^2R = P
or
V^2/R =P

I thought that too, but the OP says the answer is a 4 digit number not a word...

Ah yes I think that must be it - and re PhDemon's comment, someone has confusingly said "digits" when they mean "characters".

Thanks for your help, but it's definitely a 4 digit number to unlock a safe.

that being so, we are missing other data it seems....
