Should the polarity connection of a coil to be series resonated be of consequence for measuring Q factor? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110913184739AAJNm54 Geometry may be a consideration here. A spiral flat shaped coil with flattened windings having appreciable internal capacity between windings will have a non-linear voltage difference between windings, due to a design employing graduated greater differing amount of lengths between winds, where a conventional multi-layered 2D coil has this effect minimised or balanced to some degree. What this means in terms of line connected series resonances; whereby two voltages are created opposite against themselves in timing and thus polarity: and the acting Q factor is determined by measuring this ratio between the internal voltage rise vs the external voltage delivered to the circuit; in the case of spiral geometries, if the inner winds are closest to the central mid-point of Q driven voltage rise, where the inductor meets the capacitor delivering an opposite voltage in time; will the distribution of said resonant voltage rise between windings of the flattened wind spiral be greater if the middle point has less distance between winds, vs the opposite condition of having a greater distance between winds made by connection of the outer wind to the center of the LC series resonance vs the first consideration where the inner wind is used? Finally to mention the great influence of time here; to be exact we must say that the expression " internal Q voltages created against themselves to be opposite in time on the L and C values are not quite exactly opposite in time, since their net difference in time of opposing higher voltage cycles is recorded as that net cancellation of differing timings recorded as the source line driven voltage. In contrast then when the same circuit is instead inductively driven through the actions employed as an air core resonant circuit; then those voltage rises in time on opposite quantities become completely simultaneous in time; thus disconnecting the former lines connected to the source, and giving those connections a loop formation: now we find no voltage present on those former endings. If we then open those connections again and give it the load of a further resonant circuit with a large difference between R(int)/ R load, a sort of magnifier action from source frequency resonance is observed; whereby the ending circuit of three responds better when it actions are driven through the air, then if the same circuit were directly connected to the source voltage, for the simple reason of increased Q factors negotiated by the ratio R(int)/R load which becomes changed between direct line connection voltage vs the voltage attained by the middle intermediary air core secondary showing excessive ratios of amp turns on secondary vs that of air core primary.
