Your 2' piece of wire has a high capacitive REACTANCE. In order to get
power into it you need an equal inductive reactance (coil) to cancel
the capactive reactance to make it appear resistive.

I follow what you are saying but isn't that also the definition of
resonance, i.e., the point where capacitive reactance cancels
inductive reactance?
