Abstract
-
To describe how the capacitance and inductance per unit length of a transmission line determine the speed of an electrical pulse.
-
To obtain an expression for pulse speed and characteristic impendance in a transmission line.
-
To show that pulse speed is independent of geometry and with no dielectric or magnetic materials present is the same as the velocity of light.
-
To suggest how electromagnetic waves can propagate.
-
To mention special relativity as an alternative to magnetism.
