 MG> What I'm trying to illustrate is the DE-creasing capacitance to ground
 through the increasing distance to the ground plane. I don't have my original 
 reply so I can't re-read it all to see if I could have made an error in the
 way I explained it, but I think the original question was why the current / 
 voltage distribution exists the way it does in a secondary coil, and again
 its because the REACTANCES change with a postion change in the coil, they are
 the lowest at the bottom and the highest at the top, or what I actually
 prefer to call it, the 90 degree point, since it is a electrical point and
 not necesarily a physical point. I think I pointed out that the "value" of
 the capacitors DEcreased as we moved up the coil, which RAISES the capacitive
 reactance, and because of this, the CURRENT flow REDUCES in each advancing
 segment of the coil.
