Lines: 9 This was hashed over extensively within the last year on these groups. The answer involves radiation, the impossibility of creating a resistanceless and inductanceless connection, and the breakdown of simple circuit equations in geometric configurations that try to approximate such a connection. That is - how are you at applying Maxwell's equations? The law is not violated. I have faith, oh Brother Ohm! :-) Jeff Winslow
