Pre-Quantum Electrodynamics

Fundamentals: After properly studying this module, you should be able to:

• derive the continuity equation from Maxwell's equations
• define the Poynting vector
• give the formula for the energy in EM fields
• state Poynting's theorem (integral and differential form)

Applications: As a strict minimum, you should be able to:

• rederive the energy balance for Joule heating of a wire
