The source of electric waves is an increase of the voltage.


The voltage increases at the ends of a dipole.


The electric waves and sound propagate in metal wires, but with different

speeds.
Are electric waves in a wire also transversal?


yes.


" As the wave propagates along the line, it is accompanied by currents which
flow longitudinally in the conductors".
From: http://www.answers.com/topic/electro...e-transmission

In reality no pure transversal waves. Such are only possible in the math.
