Okay. All seems good now, then. I'm still a little freaked out at 30V on a supposedly dead outlet, but I guess there's not enough actual, um, electricity there to do anything with since it's just induced.

This raises an interesting point, though. How does this all work. Introductory electricity classes will tell you that I=V/R. I have a definite V and a definite R. What, exactly, is missing that prevents there from being enough energy to create the I? I mean, I have 30V of potential, and a 60W bulb (which, using my multimeter, is about 17 Ohms, and which I would assume is solely resistive). Why don't I have about 2A running through there?
