Impedance Source Tank Voltage Voltage source

AI Thread Summary

Voltage sources, such as batteries, are characterized by low impedance, ideally approaching zero. A high-quality car battery maintains an impedance of less than a few ohms, even under alternating current conditions. The discussion confirms that a tank circuit is indeed driven in parallel and resonates in a series loop. The accuracy of the statements regarding voltage source impedance and car battery impedance is affirmed, while the assertion about the tank circuit's configuration is deemed false. Overall, the conversation clarifies the electrical properties of voltage sources and tank circuits.

Can someone please tell me whether the following statements are wrong or right? this is not homework:

1. Voltage sources, like batteries, have a low impedance (ideally zero)

2. A good car battery's impedance (even with alternating current going through the battery) is typically far less than a few ohms.

3. A tank circuit is driven in parallel and resonates in a series loop.

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...
