members of this newsgroup state you can't impose a time varying

Hi Art,

In point of fact you are the only member of this group to have made
that statement. What is being discussed is your inability to come to
terms with the simple matter that time varying fields come from
dynamic charges which are imposing a force on all charges to react to
their change - hence there is nothing static in a field and all
charges are coupled. The only thing to measure is the degree of
coupling which leads to Q (by a tortuous path of math).

which is contrary to what I say.

What you say and what you mean is separated by at least one abyss -
Gauss did NOT mean static was the noise he heard on his radio while
trying to listen to the traffic report.

p.s. How do you get 50 Ohms out of 5 wires?
p.p.s. How do you measure Z in a static field?
