| May 24, 2023 at 19:30 | comment | added | hyportnex | @AnnaV please tell me if you agree that this comment (from memory, I might add) was irrelevant: "loop antennas measure the B field and are as common as linear antennas that measure the E field." To which I also would add now that the fact how loops are used to measure B underlies the view that the B field acts in a plane because for maximum reception one must turn the loop in that "plane of action" to be coincident with it. | |
