    Deriving Maxwell's equation from Poynting Theorem

    Here is the solution: From vector identity, $$\nabla (\vec A \times \vec B) = \vec B \cdot \nabla \times A - \vec A \cdot \nabla \times \vec B $$ If ##\vec B = 0##, then $$\nabla \vec S = \nabla \frac{\vec E \times \vec B}{\mu_0} = \frac{1}{\mu_0} (\nabla \times E \cdot \vec B - \cdot E \cdot...

    I Physical Significance of EM Plane Waves?

    The (covariant) product of the EM Field Tensor with itself is basically the Lagrangian Density for the EM Field. It leads directly to Maxwell's Equations. If there are no charges or currents present, Maxwell's Equations lead directly to an equation of motion for an EM Plane Wave. Now all EM...

    How to transform Electromagnetic fields for Lorentz Boost in arbitrary direction?

    I know the Lorentz matrix for a boost along any of the Cartesian axes. But, since all the components of the magnetic field has changed in the frames, the boost is along an arbitrary direction, rather tahn a particular axis. How do I solve the problem in this case?
