How fast does light travel in copper, Cecil?
Slower than air so the current into and out of a coil cannot
possibly be identical. It takes ~1 nS for light to travel
one foot through air. How on earth can it possibly travel
faster than that through a one foot long copper coil? You
guys are worshiping a religion completely divorced from
scientific fact.

O.k., Cecil, let's suppose you're right. Since there's more
current going into a coil than coming out, then the coil must be
storing charge, somewhere. Charge is conserved, Cecil. You
can't create it or destroy it. If the coil is storing charge somewhere
it must be acting like a capacitor, which is famous for doing just
that. Where does the coil store its charge?
