In physics, the poynting vector represents the directional energy flux the energy transfer per unit area per unit time of an electromagnetic field. What links here related changes upload file special pages permanent link page. Poyntings theorem is analogous to the workenergy theorem in classical mechanics, and mathematically similar to the continuity equation. The poynting vector is usually interpreted as an energy flux, but this is only strictly correct for electromagnetic radiation. Iec 60050 international electrotechnical vocabulary. Pt champagneseine 20 corrig e ds corrig e du ds du 29. Corrige ds 1er avril 2019 ccs2 tsi 2017 i principe dun traitement antireflet i. Tdc ondes em f evrier 20 tdc ondes electromagn etiques. The poynting vector is pointing in the direction the wave is travelling, transporting ehf energy. The more general case is described by poyntings theorem above, where it occurs as a divergence, which means that it can only describe the change of energy density in space, rather than the flow.
A simple dc circuit consisting of a battery v and a resistor r, showing the poynting vectors s, blue arrows in the space surrounding it, as well as the fields it is derived from, the electric field e, red arrows and the magnetic field h, green arrows. Ondes electromagnetiques dans le vide corrige e3a physique pc. This file is licensed under the creative commons attributionshare alike 2. The very same expression can be obtained directly from the phasors by the following rule. In physics, the poynting vector represents the directional energy flux of an electromagnetic field. If you are aware of a company that makes resonant harmonic cavities especially, spherical resonant harmonic cavities please email john nordberg. Ondes em dans le vide f evrier 20 ondes electromagn. In electrodynamics, poyntings theorem is a statement of conservation of energy for the electromagnetic field, clarification needed, in the form of a partial differential equation developed by british physicist john henry poynting. It is named after its discoverer john henry poynting who first derived it in 1884 2 oliver heaviside also discovered it independently and in the more general form that. I think it is a vector field, as every z position has a different e and b field and thus, a different poynting vector. The poynting vector and the balloflight particle model. To simplify its use in calculations, examples of the poynting vector usually appear in reference to cylindrical spaces not spherical spaces. Poynting theorem definition and meaning collins english.
