Well it should mostly be voltage caused by induction however since the shield is not part of a closed loop the current will indeed be minimal. My goal is to try and get the shield/earth current as high as possible without having to resort to a ground loop or using a return path. And it's not...

Thank you for the feedback sophiecentaur, yes the picture is close to a real representation however I have to state that the length of the sleeve is a couple orders of magnitude below wavelength. We're talking about lengths of perhaps 20cm for the sleeve at frequencies ranging from 40khz-1Mhz...

I would suspect a significant voltage due to inductive coupling. And I know the capacitance is small however if we work with mhz frequencies the impedance of the capacitor should drop significantly too?

I was thinking whether it was possible to shield a portion of a circuit that has only a single conductor without a return path. The frequency is high enough for the Earth's capacitive impedance to be low. Is my assumption then correct that the induced voltage in the shield will create a...
