Soldering temperature torch or a furnace to melt the filler metal. Different equipment is usually required since a soldering iron cannot achieve high enough temperatures for hard soldering or brazing. Brazing filler metal is stronger than silver solder, which is stronger than lead-based soft solder. Brazing solders are formulated primarily for strength, silver solder is used by jewelers to protect the precious metal and by machinists and refrigeration technicians for its tensile strength but lower melting temperature than brazing, and the primary benefit of soft solder is the low temperature used (to prevent heat damage to electronic components and insulation). Since
Electrical length of "(2N+1)λ"/2. The electrical length of an antenna element is, in general, different from its physical length For example, increasing the diameter of the conductor, or the presence of nearby metal objects, will decrease the velocity of the waves in the element, increasing the electrical length. An antenna which is shorter than its resonant length is described as ""electrically short"" , and exhibits capacitive reactance. Similarly, an antenna which is longer than its resonant length is described as ""electrically long"" and exhibits inductive reactance. An antenna's effective electrical length can be changed without changing its physical length by adding reactance,
