Cecil, as an engineer you should stick with standard vocabulary.



Just trying to appease the physicists, Dave. They are
arguing that it is not power until work is done.


A Poynting vector is watts/square angle [watts/degree^2]. It is not
being dissipated in free space. It is Diverging [vector relationship].
How do the physics type adjust their definition to include the
Poynting Vector?

I'll sit back and read the follow up posts for the next few weeks :-)



And now one for the engineers!

How do you interpret a non-zero Poynting vector determined by static E-
and H- fields?

Static fields, by definition, do not have a time varying divergence. No time
variation, no Poynting Vector. Nes Pas?
