Thanks for the inspiration Bystander. Even though distributed capacitance is spread out over the entire winding it still must be regarded the same as a discrete cap in that to store energy into the cap work must still be done which means voltage times current.

First, take the case of a winding with a regular capacitor connected to both terminals of the winding. When a moving magnetic field induces a voltage therein, the cap becomes charged and a current flows in the conductor while cap is charging, producing a magnetic field. Next, take the case of a...
