.......With this message, I suggest that we end the argument (this to be
the last message) on this subject (at this time)......Except!!!  I'd be in
favor of one good ***laymans*** message from any one of the three of you
... to explain (1) the "gist" of this argument in laymans terms, and (2)
the significance (if any) to the EMF health damage issue.....guru......

Cheerio.....

Subject: Non-unique voltage in induction field

Roy, I have replied privately to Wolfgang's latest message on this
subject.  I suggest that members of the group who are interested get a
good textbook on electromagnetic field theory and read the section
that deals with Ampere's circuital law.  What they will learn is that
the path taken by the induced current in an induction field determines
how much current flows, hence what the voltage difference is between
any two points on the circuit.  One can get ANY value of voltage, just
by manipulating the path of the current flow (which is done by
controlling the configuration of a wire in air, since current flow
through the air is confined to a wire).  In liquids, solids, or
biological media, there are a multiplicity of current paths possible
in an RF induction field, which is one reason why the situation here
can get very complicated (and very damaging to biological tissue). 
[There can probably be other reasons besides current flow for the
development of biological damage, as well.]
Unless somebody has a question on this topic that seems to be of broad
interest, I'll discuss it privately, rather than publicly, from now
on.  My position on the nonuniqueness of voltage differences in
induction fields is well supported by textbooks, so it's not
controversial, just somewhat confusing to think about. - Marjorie
