ABSTRACT

Solutions of dif£cult electromagnetic problems are facilitated through the de£nitions of electromagnetic potentials (see Appendix 1B):

B A= ∇ × , (1.7)

E

A = −∇ −

∂ ∂Φ t ,

(1.8)

where A is the magnetic vector potential (Wb/m) and Φ the electric scalar potential (V). The effect of an electromagnetic material on the electromagnetic £elds is incorporated in

constitutive relations between the £elds E, D, B, H, and J.
