Therefore, for a given transmission-line geometry, the right-hand side of (2-29)
can be written in terms of circuit parameters, where L is the series inductance
of the transmission line per unit length:

Don't get confused by the fact that the units of
∂µH y /∂t
(henry

amperes per square meter) and those of L(∂i/∂t) are H
A/m. Equation (2-29)
is in terms of generalized electric and magnetic fields. When the fields are repre-
sented by circuit parameters, the units change. Therefore, the circuit equivalent
of (2-29) is

Note that equation (3-12) is simply the classic response of an inductor from
circuit theory.
Similarly, equation (2-30) says that a time-varying electric field will produce
a magnetic field:

Note that the form of the numerator on the left-hand side of equation (2-30)
( εE ) has units of F
V/m 2
volts per square meter), which indicates that
the equivalent-circuit form should be in terms of a capacitance and a voltage.
From the integral form of Gauss's law (2-59) we can calculate the left-hand side
of (2-30) in terms of the charge, assuming that the signal conductor is an infinite
thin strip:
