Ya gotta be kidding, Cecil. Do you really not know that the arrow

The arrow indicates the direction of current flow
when I* cos(phase_angle) is positive. 1/2 cycle later, the
current is flowing in the opposite direction, i.e. I*cos(phase_
angle) is negative.

The arrow does not indicate "the direction AC is flowing" - which is
what you've been trying to imply. Moreover, it has nothing to do your
claim that more alternating current flows into one end of an inductor
than flows out of the other. As I have been saying all along, that
particular notion is invalid.

When the value I in the expression i = I*sin(w) for a standing wave
happens to be greater at one end of a transmission line than the
corresponding value of I at the other end of the transmission line, it
is NOT true, or correct to say that more current is flowing into one end
than is flowing out of the other. It's totally bogus electronics. I
wish you would be courageous enough to stand corrected on that point.
