RF resistance data

 I'm putting this here so it does not get misplaced.

Consider the dualities. The opposites. What can we say about them? light - dark E field - H field particles at rest or in motion.

 Consider EMF, current, B and motion.

Can we have any of them without the other?

Suspend a wire in a H field and send a current threw it, it will try to move.

Suspend a wire in a H field and move the wire OR magnet, you will produce current in the wire.

Passing a current threw a wire produces a magnetic field. Can we have a magnetic field without current flow?

Consider the permanent magnet. It has closed loop currents in it structure which create the field.

Question: Can we have a "permanent E field"? Not a trick question so disregard a charged capacitor and the Lydel jar.

A bar magnet has a "permanent H field".

Can we have a "bar ????" with a permanent E field?

What if we melted a bar of wax and placed it in a strong E field and let it cool. Would the field effect the wax?

Can I use wax as the dielectric in a capacitor? Yes of course I can. Will it make a stronger capacitor? Yes it will. Again, what happens if I melt the wax and let it cool while holding a charge on the capacitor?

Hint: Consider the Electret Microphone.

 Notice the relationships in the right hand and left hand rules are all at 90 degrees. Also note one component is force/motion. With a generator we turn the armature to create current. With the motor the current causes the armature to spin. Can we have motion without a spinning armature? Consider the transformer. The motion in the primary is "current" flow. The motion in the secondary is also "current flow. 

 Note: In the beginning (when I was young) it was "H" field and "Cycles Per Seconds". Today they prefer "B" and "hertz" so I may at times use an unfamiliar term. I will even switch back and forth now and then.

LDO low voltage - pinned vs surface mount components

I was planning a single cell radio. The previous oscillator was looking good but will need a little more thought. In the mean time I am looking at the LDO for the single cell radio. My parts bin is fairly well stocked but I am having to decide between surface mount, pinned component or using 3 volts? (the original plan was 1 cell) This series of post show the options.

3 volts both pinned

2 volts both pinned.

1.5 volts 1 surface and 1 pinned.

2 volts both surface mount.

2 volt 1 pinned 1surface mount.

1.5 volts 1 surface 1 pinned.

So I can obtain the goal of a 1.5 volt LDO by using 1 surface mount and 1 pinned Jfet or I can move the goal and use 2 cells.
