Default Coils are transmission lines

Oh, I forgot to ask you a technical question, Gene. Given that
at 11.78 MHz, the current at the bottom of the coil is 0.17 amps
and the current at the top is 2.0 amps, how do you explain those
values if the current is flowing up through the coil? The details
are at the bottom of the following web page.


I don't recall anyone ever questioning such matters.


You seem to be trying to have it both ways. 0.17 amps
is not equal to 2.0 amps. 0 degrees is not equal to
180 degrees. How are those values possible in a lumped
inductor?
