The microclimate extends well beyond a millimetre. But another approach to your question is to point out that there is not likely to be some hitherto unknown effect in electrical science disclosed by this sort of experience, so the current must go either through resistance or through capacitance. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
