Graduate Reflections at the source point of a transmission line
I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my...- miner_tom

Where Can I Find The Ballad of Maxwell's Equations Sung to Take On Me?
Hi folks, I know that this exists. I used to be able to find it. But not anymore. It goes something like "Gauss and Faraday, had a lot of thing to say about magnetic fields" and on and on. I hope that it still exists but I have not been able to find it anywhere. Thanks Tom- miner_tom

Graduate How does Lenz's law delay coil field collapse in magnetos?
Perhaps the title of this post is not quite correct because I could not find a way to abbreviate what I am asking. Picture a magneto circuit, where, an alternator is used to generate an AC flux into a primary coil of a ignition coil by means of a magnetic core (the primary is wrapped around the...- miner_tom
