distribution of current and voltage along the conductors is much the
same as before. Looking at Fig. 17.3 we would say that the current
was greatest at the middle because it has to charge all the capacitance
in parallel, whereas near the ends there is hardly any to charge.
Fig. 17.4 shows some typical electric and magnetic lines of force.
At any one radius from the generator they would trace out a sort of
