As far as I am concerned, if Maxwell's equations don't work on an
example, it might as well be ignored. There is nothing during DC
steady-state that allows Maxwell's equations to work because there are
no EM waves during DC steady-state. Why don't you already know that?

I always thought that Maxwell's equations were more complete than that
and worked all the way down to DC. Two of them do not even include
time
and nothing says that a derivative with respect to time can't be 0.

I can take your approach and do you one better. Please prove that you
exist. If you cannot prove that you exist, then nothing you say is of
any consequence. See, I can do it also.

From the above, you have proved that I exist. Thank you.

Completely false assumption. You are back to asserting that since the
north-bound traffic equals the south-bound traffic on the Golden Gate
Bridge that there is no traffic and no bridge maintenance is required.
When are you going to give up on that irrational wet dream of yours?
No *NET* energy crosses at a voltage zero or current zero point. That
doesn't make the north-bound energy equal to zero and doesn't make the
south-bound energy equal to zero. It just makes them equal. Just
because there is no NET traffic flow on the Golden Gate Bridge doesn't
mean there is zero traffic flow in both directions. Please stop
clowning around with such absurb notions.

I suppose, but then you have to give up on P(t)=V(t)*I(t), generally
considered to be a rather fundamental equation.

There is no conservation of power principle.

There is no mention of power above; simply energy.

Are you saying that conservation of energy only applies some of
the time?

If you would track the RF
joules and the conversion of RF joules to heat instead of the joules/
second, everything would become clear to you. As it is, you are
laboring under some serious misconceptions about the laws of physics.
Power simply doesn't balance within a single cycle - because it
doesn't have to - because there is no conservation of power principle.

In your example, the RF energy does seem to disappear and re-appear,
when tracked on a moment by moment basis.

People who don't learn from their mistakes are doomed to commit the
same mistakes over and over. Keith, you seem to be all output and no
input. Please enable your input channels for a change.

Well, it would help if you could actually find and articulate a flaw
