Distributed capacitance may affect single-turn coils differently from
multiturn-coils. And those vary as their length to diameter ratio
varies.

In 1999 Tom Bruhns was experimenting, trying to find the relationship
between coil Q and parasitic C. He picked up reports that helical
resonators weere superior to short coaxial resonators. Tom also wrote:

charge and discharge."

Reg seems to have had a nice explanation for coil loss from parasitic
capacitance.

Do you know where this explanation might be found?

Thanks, Mike
