How does resistance change when comparing a flat sheet to a folded one

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on how sheet resistance varies between a flat sheet and a folded sheet, highlighting that the change is influenced by the geometry of the material. The number of folds can affect resistance, as each fold alters the effective area and thickness. Additionally, the capacitance of the fold may play a role in this change. The material properties of the sheet are crucial in determining the extent of resistance variation. Overall, the relationship between folding and resistance is complex and depends on multiple factors.

How does sheet resistance change when comparing a flat sheet to a folded sheet?



Is this change predictable? Would the change also depend on the number of folds? Is the capacitance of the fold an important factor in the change?

Welcome to PF;
If there is an electrical connection on the inside of the fold, then you have just shifted to a different geometry slab - different A and/or d.

I think anything else will depend a lot on the material properties of the sheet.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
