Except.
The winding of wire into solenoid changes the self resonant frequency.
cf any good text on antenna engineering.
Or a good ham radio book, under 'continuosuly loaded antennas'.
Roughly: for long, skinny, closely wound antennas, ONE HALF wave
of physical wire length 'looks like' 1/4 wave of straight wire.
This is the measured reality.
(To the extent that such arrangements are not commonly used as
antennas, may need to dig a bit for the refrences. Still: true.)
as the 'form factor' changes: becomes shorter/fatter, the physical
length and the electrical length become closer.

cf as above.
Try the measurement.

Greetings dwp:
Take a look at the G3YNH web site under inductors and transformers part 3
page 3.
If you take the wire length given by the author and divide by (wavelength/2)
you get a factor of almost exactly the sqrt of (15/16)
(deviating
by only 1/10th of a percent.)
This is special relativity at work. For when we compare the units of time of
a quarter wave section versus C/ wavelength we find that they are different
by a factor of exactly 4.
Thus: 4T = T'
Solving this using Lorentz equation we find an observational velocity of the
sqrt of (15/16)C
But in all cases the waves actually do travel at exactly the speed of light
down the wire. The sqrt of 15/16C is an observational phenomena.
We made this exact prediction, it is in the archives!
