Hello,
as a follow up to my previous post, I think I can clarify my question
with a simpler example.
Once I define the following:
complexEps[permittivity_, conductivity_, omega_] := permittivity - (I
conductivity/omega);
epsilonCyt := complexEps[permittivityCyt, conductivityCyt, omega];
omega := 2 Pi f
permittivityCyt := 50;
Why does this work:
Manipulate[Plot[Im[Evaluate[complexEps[permittivityCyt,
conductivityCyt, omega]]], {f, 1 10^5,1 10^10}], {conductivityCyt,
0.1, 0.5}]
While this doesn't:
Manipulate[Plot[Im[Evaluate[epsilonCyt]], {f, 1 10^5, 1 10^10}],
{conductivityCyt, 0.1, 0.5}]
I would think that the two 'Manipulate' expressions would be
equivalent, but obviously I'd be wrong....
thanks.
