- H8crilA 2y agoYes, all pipes leak, even DC pipes, in two almost entirely independent ways (electric and magnetic). And the vector product of these leakages (the Poynting vector) is what actually transmits power. Note that this energy transfer happens entirely outside of the conductor. Sounds bizarre, right? That's why this is mostly ignored unless it can't be, for example in very fast circuits.
