We're talking a small air-coil here.
Doesn't matter what kind of coil; all coils have a non-linear plot of
either inductance vs frequency OR reactance vs frequency. ALL coils.
Well, just about anything is "non-linear" if you measure it accurately
enough! But is it really true that the *inductance* of a "small air
coil" is "dramatically" non-linear with frequency as you stated?
Intuitively I'd have thought the answer was plainly No, but I'm
certainly not technically savvy enough to be confident about that. But
I strongly suspect that the thread is already ovedue an unambiguous
definition of 'inductance'. Where's John Woodgate when you really need
him...g.
