Default Current across the antenna loading coil - from scratch

Take the VF=0.02 resonant coil and divide it into two equal
coils. Do you really expect the two coils to have VFs of 1.0
while their end-to-end combination results in a VF of
0.02? Please quote the laws of physics that allows such
to happen.

Cecil,

What is the mystery? Have you never seen a response curve for a resonant
condition? It is not exactly linear.

You are the expert on Vf. You assert without proof that a half-length
coil has the same Vf as the full-length resonant coil. OK, even if I
accepted that supposition, what happens at a quarter-length or at a
tenth-length? I am simply asking how the function changes between the
"known" limits of 1.0 and 0.02. You have repeatedly ducked any sort of
answer.
