On the Linearization of the Energy Density of the Electromagnetic Field

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 October 2008

Affiliation:
Gonville and Caius College

Extract

The modified field equations proposed by the author can be derived from the energy density

(where is the electric displacement, the magnetic induction, the Poynting vector) with the help of the commutation laws for these vectors.
