To be polarized must be the two poles (nodes) The tip of a monopole and its base are its two nodes. *A monopole is polarized. This is a very simple lesson to learn. but, but, but, the base is a voltage minimum, not the opposite peak voltage of the top!!! how can that form two nodes to make the electrons jump opposite directions? this just can't be true! this must only be half polarity polarisation. What? Is this Oliver Twist in reverse polish notation? "Please, sir, can I have another node?" Yes, you have fully anticipated an objection in its juvenile form. This can be countered (after asking for a hand to be held out for switching): Pick any potential reference point along the length of the quarter wave monopole; every point above it will have the opposite polarity of any point below it - ergo, two nodes are described each on either side of the reference. I hope I don't have to explain that using batteries and resistors (it may present a challenge in introducing advanced electronic concepts). 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
