Re: Elementary Lecture
The fields I have measured (if field is a real term) are just the electrostatic
fields. (million volts per meter range) While I have seen and measured the
radiation field (electrodynamic- RF) it is so weak as to be virtually none
existant. You would refer to the electrostatic field as a far field.
Finally, I was being facitious regarding the action at a distance mumbo-jumbo
as
it is what I hold with. It is a matter of one's choice of perspective.
