Thanks for agreeing with me.


No - thank you for agreeing with me that your equation is too
simple to be useful. :-)

That is not what the formula says. Pick and X and you get a constant
phase angle with respect to the zero degree reference.


But that phase angle is not zero as it is for standing waves.
You seem to be talking in circles. How can the phase shift
between the traveling wave and the source reference ever be
zero at a point 90 degrees away from the source? If it cannot,
then you have evidence that the traveling wave is NOT identical
to the standing wave as evidenced by their different equations.

Last time I looked, you were claiming
that one could use the self resonant frequency as a way to predict the
phase shift through a coil at other frequencies (to some rather open
tolerance) with the assumption of constant time delay.


Where have you been? I gave up on that idea long ago. I even posted
a Dr. Corum quote to that effect. You obviously need to look more
often.

Let's cut to the bottom line. You seem to believe that standing wave
current is identical to traveling wave current. If that's your point,
just say so. Otherwise, please tell us the difference between the
standing wave current and the traveling wave current which seems
obvious to me from the equations.
