I believe; I'll tell you. Let me say in terms you might get this time:
The same infinitesimal charge dQ cannot move in two directions
at the same time. In order to do that it would have to split in two
and that would violate the principle of conservation of charge.

Get real, Tom. Does your vehicle battery hold a charge? Is that charge
an infinitesimal point charge? Introducing an infinitesimal charge into
the argument at this late point is known in logic as diverting the issue.

The charge on your battery is a total charge. The charge in a transmission
line is a total charge. The charge of the planet earth is a total charge.
Charge is moving in opposite directions 1/2WL apart in a transmission line.
Charge is NOT limited to an infinitesimal charged particle, as you imply.
Charge is a characteristic of *any* number of particles in *any* magnitude
of volume including, presumably, the entire universe.
