The Black wave loop is moving up and down indicating
that the phase is changing from positive to negative.
The cosine of the phase angle indicates the direction
of current flow. How can you say it has no direction?
And only a blind person would assert that the current
loop is standing still while moving up and down.
Current that stands still is zero current.

A jump rope is a standing wave. Do you also assert
that a jump rope in motion is standing still?

Cecil - you are hereby found GUILTY of UNFAIR and MISLEADING
'snipping'. Here is the part that I wrote that you very unfairly
snipped.

Of course, the black wave is still 'AC'

pointing out this 'duh!-obvious' up-and-down
motion of the black standing wave to eager RF

You will note that I totally and completely pre-empted your
highly-predictable attempt at the next duh!-obvious layer of your
feeble semantic nonsense. I even used the exact words,
'...up-and-down...'. It was very unfair of you to snip that out and
then proceed to make the same duh!-obvious, so-called 'point'.


Bad Cop: "Stop, or I'll shoot!"
Suspect: "OK! OK! Don't shoot man; I'm like totally frozen!"
~BANG!~
Good Cop: "Why did you shoot him?"
Bad Cop: "He was 'moving'..."
Good Cop: "But he was standing perfectly still!"
Bad Cop: "Ah, but his heart was still beating..."


Cecil - you're the Bad Cop.
No doughnut for you.
