Cec, what's the Poynting Vector?
Same thing as a power flow vector. The dimensions are
energy per second per unit area. If the power flow vector
is integrated over the entire surface of a sphere of radius
r, the result is total radiated power. I thought maybe you
and Mr. Poynting might have worked together at some time in
the 20th century. :-)
Poynting, John Henry (1852-1914)
English physicist, mathematician, and inventor. He devised an equation by
which the rate of flow of electromagnetic energy
(now called the Poynting vector) can be determined.
S = E X H
