Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I should have added...

It just occurred to me that I should have pointed something out from the start. The term self-capacitance does not refer to something special or unique. Self-capacitance refers to any capacitances completely within a device and excludes capacitances with the outside world. As I understand the term, the author's definition - or c-J's transcription - is incorrect about capacitance to ground being a self-capacitance.

All of the capacitances that I have mentioned concerning wirewound resistors - and by extension CM chokes - are self-capacitances. (The one exception is question (2) of the quiz.) Self-capacitance has not been neglected.
