Does the electric field make electrons?

AI Thread Summary
Electrons possess electric charge, which inherently generates an electric field. This means that electrons do indeed create an electric field. The discussion emphasizes the relationship between electric charge and electric fields. Clarification is provided that the terms "generates" and "creates" are synonymous in this context. Understanding this relationship is crucial in the study of electromagnetism.

DiracPool doesn't know what he is talking about, I am afraid. Electrons have electric charge, and one of the properties of electric charge is that it generates an electric field.

which means electrons create an electric field, right?
 
generates = creates, yes.
 

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...
