Hi,

I am doing an experiment with a coaxial cable and i want to Count out it expected RC-constant for the cable.

I have measured the resistance for the cable, but when i count the RC, the resistansen that will be used only is the half of it resistans measured in the beginning.

Why should i use the half resistance?

Additional Details

I think it has something to do with the electrons, or?

Isn´t there anyone who can explain this?
 
I'm sorry, but I can't even understand what you're saying.
