Default Displacement current

I agree.

On page 40 of Kraus` 3rd edition of "Antennas" is found:
"For a 1/2-wave dipole antenna, the energy is stored at one instant of
time in the electric field, mainly near the ends of the antenna or
maximum charge regions, while a 1/2-period later the energy is stored in
the magnetic field mainly near the center of the antenna or maximum
current region."

My preceding statement was before reading Kraus:
"A standing wave antenna stores energy in the magnetic field near its
center during one half of the cycle and in the electric fields near its
ends during the other half cycle."

My statement lacks clarity and precision. I am a poor engineer who has
never worked as an educator. Chris` point? Close but no cigar? OK, I
deserve the critism.
