It's simply Ohm's law that still is valid. Yes, voltage across all the inductance adds in too. In my case, my tower is grounded with a resistance to ground of about 3 ohms (when it was tested some ti

On point. It is unlikely Ohm's Law will ever be repealed, by the current crew in the beltway or that if the pretenders to the throne. AG6CX Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________
The important thing to remember is electricity doesnt follow the shortest path somewhere, it follows the path of least resistance. And its important to point out that during a lightning event, that p
The Ohm's Law that we can all quote E=IR is an extremely simplified version that is only valid for "lumped models". and of course only for resistance. it must be expanded to include lumped capacitors
lightning may not even follow the path of 'least resistance', at least as you conceive it. connecting a low resistance wire to a ground rod does not mean that the lightning current will follow that w
NO -- it follows the path of least IMPEDANCE, which is the path of least INDUCTANCE, which is the SHORTEST path. Resistance matters ONLY to the extent that a low resistance takes longer to vaporize,
YOU MUST REMEMBER, lightning is not RF, its not DC, its not even AC... it is a fast rise time pulse, those can not be handled with normal impedance equations and lumped models... for instance a big f

As I see it: First semester circuits. The first book I opened looked simple until I saw the way they solved the problems Instead of the way I had always solved those circuits with Ohms Law. They were
NO! It can follow many paths. The current dividing according to the impedance of each path. 73, Roger NO -- it follows the path of least IMPEDANCE, which is the path of least INDUCTANCE, which is the
