![]() "I have spent a considerable amount of time in researching the above subject as a result of some comments made regarding Gauss's law of Statics and its connection to the above Poynting's Vector. I have not yet found a description of an actual proof similar to described by the Gaussian Antenna and have found a number considerable number of " attempts" to provide such a proof on the internet. The problem that you have is that the Poynting Vector does not exist as such, so it cannot be proved. It is nothing more than a mathematical nicety that happens to yield a vector product that happens to be in the direction of propagation. It is possible to devise an infinite number of similar vectors that equally well (or better in some cases) describe the energy flow through a surface. There are plenty of derivations of the mathematical relevance of the Poynting Vector available. The Poynting Vector is favoured because it is mathematically simple and describes energy flow adequately in a non-static case. 73 Jeff |
