Default Wire diameter vs Impedance

Thanks for fulfilling my expectation.


EZNEC can be used to verify the relationship of conductor
diameter to velocity factor. Once the conductor diameter
exceeds a certain limit, the standing wave current at the
ends of that conductor undergo a 180 degree phase change,
indicating a longer length than resonance.

Tom, when you can determine the position and velocity of
every electron in the system, please get back to us. :-)
