Hi,
Having read Chris Bowick's explanation of how these tiny capacitances
arise between the turns of a coil, I'm left wondering if it's the
whole story. Bowick states that they arise due to the resistance of
the inductor's wire. Albeit tiny, this resistance leads to minute
potential differences between turns, thereby giving rise to tiny
capacitances. Is that really the whole story? Do not phase differences
within the coil of the ac signal voltage make for far more potential
difference between turns? In particular as signal frequencies get
*very* high?
