Default Current through coils

From basic transmission line theory, the velocity of propagation

a coil is estimated by -

V = 1 / Sqrt( L * C ) metres per second,


So Reg, for a fixed installation, why would L and C change
much with frequency, like from 16 nS at 16 MHz to 3 nS at
4 MHz? If we took it down to 1 MHz, would the delay go
below 3 nS?

Sorry Cec, I havn't the foggiest idea.

On second thoughts, since L and C are functions of a coil's physical
dimensions it must be something else which is changing with frequency.
