ABSTRACT

Before going into NEA methods, let us look at Maxwell’s equations, which are  the fundamentals of electromagnetics. They are stated in the time domain as

∇ × = − ∂ ∂E r

B r ( , )

( , ) t

t t

(5.1)

∇ × = ∂ ∂ +H r

D r J r( , )

( , ) ( , )t

t t

t

(5.2)

∇⋅ =D r r( , ) ( , )t tρ (5.3)

∇⋅ =B r( , )t 0 (5.4)

where E(r, t) is the electric eld H(r, t) is the magnetic eld D(r, t) is the electric-ux density B(r, t) is the magnetic-ux density J(r, t) is the conduction current density ρ(r, t) are the volume charge density, each at space point r and at time t

Equation 5.1 represents Faraday’s law, and Equation 5.2 represents Ampere’s law. Equations 5.3 and 5.4 represent Gauss’s laws for electric and magnetic elds, respectively.
