Fw: Re: That secondary behaviour, E-Tesla5, and Corum's thing...

I'll just add this to what I forgot to comment on:  I've been nuts for a
long time, about electronics at any rate and no doubt a few other things
of which I am blissfully unaware.  And I think "slow" really refers to
how long it takes stubborn people like me & maybe even thee to quit a
subject until we feel we've wrung what can be wrung out of it!  Viva
slowness!

Terry (& all)-

Boy!...it seems as if between us we've flogged this horse if not to death
at least into a coma!  Your Ken05 is exactly what I see.  Looking at
Ken10, I think that Antonio's point in his posting of today is operative,
in the case of the top-loading shown in the "lumped" waveform:  The
slowing down of the "lumped" response is due to having to charge up the
probe's capacitance-to-ground.  And no doubt the same thing happens when
one has a "real" top load attached.

Having forgotten the transmission-line theory I at least temporarily
learned 50 years ago, I don't have a notion as to why the probe
capacitance will advance the transmission-line wave.  Can you explain
that in terms adapted to the meanest understanding?
