Problem

A coaxial cable contains an inner conductor carrying current II to the right and a concentric outer conductor carrying an equal current II to the left. Considering an imaginary plane that intersects both conductors, justify in two sentences how electromagnetic energy can still be transported along the cable even though the net current through the plane is zero.
