Fig 1x.29 -- what about capacitance of noninductives?
Depends actually which type, Ayrton-Perry should be fine but bifilar (shorted at one end) will be awful.
Speaking of Ayrton, she was not only one of the first EEs as such, but one of if not the first female EE. I don't know if that's footnote-worthy, but it's not well known I think!
Thin film resistors -- I've heard paranoia about these corroding. Any insight? (Not AoE-specific, anyone's experience will do.) Maybe was a legitimate concern, now outdated?
Fig 1x.30 is very useful! It looks visually noisy though; could you get that formatted as a heatmap, or like, drawing dotted or hashed curves around the general area of each family?
May be worth a note, Fig 1x.31 -- you can flatten out a messy resistor, sure, but you're just moving the power dissipation from one resistor to the other. Fatal for signals with a large RF component!
Do you have any data on TO-220 and other power film resistors, in terms of capacitance to heatsink, or equivalent circuits? And JL's measured significant "drool" apparently from induction into the heatsink I think, in such parts?
So many directions to explore with only so much time to go around, I know. :-S Looking forward to the finished book!
