Mobile Ant L match ?

In the Feb. 2004 QST there's an article by AD5X for a mobile antenna using a
Hamstick or Bugcatcher with shunt capacitor feed or an L match. Can someone
please explain, including the math, on how a ~500pf capacitor transforms 10
ohms to 50 ohms for 40 meters? I get no understand from reading either my
ARRL Handbook or ARRL Antenna Handbook. There are no stupid questions, only
stupid people asking!
tnx
