open circuit at the far end
If I connect a battery to a lengthy coax - open circuit at the far end:
the coax consumes energy as though it were a resistor of the coax
characteristic impedance - 50 to 80 ohms as it might be.
After a time defined by twice the coax length and a large fraction of c,
that energy flux stops.
