Bill, the set of Maxwell equation IS surely correct for both lumped (i.e. capacitor) and distributed (i.e. transmission line) circuits. It can be proven mathematically. The demonstration that you bring in part one of your article is very ingenuous, and can be proven wrong by anyone that can properly work out Maxwell equations; there is no need for philosophical discussion, just elementary math. Please remember that the current theory has put the man on the moon; minds much brighter than ours have re-worked those equations for decades... do you REALLY think that nobody knowledgeable would have been able to spot such an evident (and elementary) mistake ? Please, don't take this as a personal attack, it is not. It is just too easy to make this kind of errors is you don't use the proper (mathematical) tools... your demonstration is just like Achilles and the Turtle paradox (see www.openetwork.com/zeno.html): you cannot solve (and understand) it unless you can work out series. Sorry, I still see no "discrepancy" in Maxwell equations. All the best, Michele.
