I'm talking about a reading at a point in time. A point in time is a snapshot; one frame of a movie. Play the preceding frames successively, and you'll see the current that brought about that particular arrangement; play the succeeding frames successively, and you'll see the currents that follow; but at any point in time, there's no movement -- just the current state of the electrons.I'm not fully clear on what you are asking here. You say the voltage readings depend on the relative positions of those electrons, but what about the current from those moving electrons?
So I'm asking for two snapshots of the circuit, one at time t1 and one at time t2. I want to know (a) how are the electrons arranged at those two points in time, and (b) how those arrangements correspond with the "voltage snapshots" that we see on the scope at those points (ie, +1 and -1 volt). You know what my snapshots look like, and you know I think they're accurate; but give me clearer pictures and I'll throw mine away in a heartbeat.
