Default Contrary current flow within a radiator

I thought it would be better to accept the responses of the
news group as factual. Now I must determine why
equilibrium is not understood as this is a requirement for
any radiator vector diagram.


It would be interesting to know exactly what you mean by
the term: "Radiator vector diagram".

I have quite a lot of books that were recommended reading
in US Universities so I will read thru those for what they say
about equilibrium........


I have 9 books on electromagnetics and antennas. The word
"Equiblibrium" does not appear in any of the indexes.

......and why it has been dumped or if Newtons laws have
been corrected e.t.c. Without an understanding of equilibrium all
physics as I know it falls apart!. Thus a chasm is in place between me
and the group and I have to search for the reason.


There has been no correction to Newtonian mechanics, and there
is no violation of Newton's laws in electromagnetics.

As for reading books on electromagnetics. I cannot understand how
it is possible without knowledge of math. Do you understand any
of the following?: line integral, surface integral, volume integral,
vector "dot" product, vector "cross" product, gradient, divergence,
curl, "Del", and vector magnetic potential. With these tools
it is possible to calculate the E and H fields at a point in space --
based on an assumption of current distribution. The hard part
of computational electromagnetics is to determine the actual
current distribution on a radiator.

Thanks to all for your inputs
