               Small clue here :-)

I have always wondered, what is _exactly_ meant by the term "lumped" as
opposed to for example transmissionline, when a tesla coil system model
is being discussed.
Transmission line vs. lumped parameter model seems to be the phrases
used.

This is mumbo jumbo to me, part because I am a Dane, (not that we are
dimm, just less proficient in command of the english language), part
because I have no formal electronic background.

What is a lumped parameter?

Cheers, Finn Hammer
