Hi Trev and all,
On a serious note for once, I see your confusion of two basic electrical
terms, not all that uncommon when you're used to dealing with RF and have
drifted away from basic physics. The term "magnetic" usually refers to a
magnet, magnetic material or magnetic lines of force. Add electrical
excitation (Isn't it excititng?) and you have elecromagnetic,
electromagnitism. Now we know an RF field has two components, electric
and electromagnetic so in this case electromagnetic applies, for the sake
of simplicity electric is "understood" and ignored. It's all in the use
of the language, we tend to overcomplicate things forgetting some words
are understood in a sentence and omitted.
"He was turned to steel, in a great magnetic field."
Ozzy Osborne, Iron Man, from the album Black Sabbath.
After all, radio is just a step down transformer with an extreme turns
ratio, think about it.
