Phase velocity electric current

AI Thread Summary
In quantum mechanics, particles exhibit wave-like behavior characterized by complex phases, as described by the de Broglie hypothesis. The phase velocity of electric current is linked to the relationship between voltage, momentum, and wave number. Voltage, representing potential energy, correlates with frequency, while the wave number is associated with the magnetic vector potential. The discussion explores the connections between these concepts, emphasizing the interplay between electric current and phase velocity. Understanding these relationships can enhance insights into quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory.

In quantum mechanics, particles also behave as waves with complex phases. By the de Broglie hypothesis, we see that

Vp=w/k=E/p


Does have relation Volt with momentum or wavnumber(2Pi/wavelenght) ?
and current with phase velocity ?

Voltage is Potential Energy so it is related to frequency. The corresponding wave-number is related to the magnetic vector potential 'A'.
 

Thread 'Reflections at the source point of a transmission line'

I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
