- It was Maxwell who pointed out that resistors could be bent into hairpin turns so that their current flowed in two directions, canceling out capacitance or inductance.
- In 1920 Theremin, a Russian physicist and cellist, discovered that natural body capacitance produced a controllable musical sound when it interfered with an electromagnetic .
- Combined with the electrical properties of capacitance, inductance and resistance in the antenna arms, the transistor forms a circuit that has a low resonant frequency and thus .
