I use the "sub" because ascii doesn't have a lower-case L. The XsubL is

In plain English: The reactance of a coil is equal to 2 times pi times
the frequency in Hz times the inductance in henries.

Got it?

Yes, "got it." Unfortunately it doesn't explain your hair-brained
theory of variable inductance within a fixed inductor.
In fact the effect you've been trying to decribe appears to be no more
than an esoteric and practically-insignificant technicality - *if*
indeed it exists at all.
