Subject: (Lundquist) Non-unique voltage in induction field (fwd) Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 182843 -0500 (CDT) From: "Roy L. Beavers" <rbeavers@llion.org> To: emfguru@hotmail.com -------------------------------------------------- .......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..... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 14:49:39 -0700 (PDT) From: marjorie lundquistTo: rbeavers@llion.org 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 _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
