Both statements are true and easily provable. A simple air core coil which measures one microhenry at a low frequency may have an inductance of several millihenries (or even henries) when near its self resonant frequency. It's a simple law of physics; there is no way around it. And *above* the self-resonant frequency, the choke actually behaves like a capacitor, believe it or not. Now you have gone and said something that is simply not true. The small inductor has a nearly fixed inductance with a parallel with a nearly fixed capacitance. The combined impedance of these two fixed reactances produces a nonlinear impedance, but there is nothing about that impedance that implies a large change in either the inductance or capacitance of the combination, at least not until you get to so high a frequency that the winding is a significant fraction of a cycle long. The rise in impedance near resonance does not exhibit the same phase shift that between voltage and current that a large inductance would have. -- John Popelish |
