An interesting feature of both current and voltage waves is that 

 when a sufficient time has elapsed after the arrival of the head of the 

 wave, the waves become closer and closer to the wave of the cor- 

 responding non-inductive cable; that is, to the cable having the same 

 R,C and G. Consequently the inductance plays no part in the 

 subsidence of the waves to their final values.
