95% plus of the transmitter or received energy is safely contained
between center conductor and shield. That is how the physics works
out. All of the feed line center conductor current is pretty well
matched by the same current in the shield. It is the closely coupled
concentric magnetic fields that make coax work so well.


Or, simply put, for ever action, an equal and opposite reaction occurs
.... yes, basic physics ... however, what is in question--since the other
braid has and "inside" and an "outside", where does that equal opposite
reaction occur ...
