Did you have fun writing that, Cecil? What makes you think the
variation in current in two seperate places of a coil carrying

My Webster's has 74 definitions of "drop" including: "a decline
in amount" and "diminished or lessened". The current at a current node
has certainly declined from the current loop and is certainly diminished
from the current at a current loop. The only definition of "drop" in the
IEEE Dictionary is "A connection made between a through transmission
circuit and a local terminal unit". The IEEE Dictionary doesn't define
"current drop". Neither do any of my technical reference books.

So Tom, please provide a definition and a reference for your version
of "current drop". I suspect you are as wrong about the definition
of "current drop" as you were about the contents of Balanis' book.

Standing wave antennas, such as the dipole, can be analyzed as traveling
wave antennas with waves propagating in opposite directions (forward and
backward) and represented by traveling wave currents If and Ib ..."
