[time-nuts] Noise and non-linear behaviour of ferrite transformers

[Alexander Pummer]

No, the current passing the outside f the shield  will not induce any 
voltage inside of the coax, but the voltage drop caused by the current 
on the ohmic resistance [!!!] of the shield will show upbetween the two 
ends of the cable -- and that will  show up as  it was added to to the 
voltage which is carried on the center conductor of the coax.
