Abstract It is possible to compress the classical electromagnetic equations into three complex, four-dimensional quantities Ω′, T′, and ψ ′. These quantities represent in order electromagnetic fields, currents and charges, and vector and scalar potentials. In addition to the four-dimensional quantities, a complex vector Q ′ = a E + jb B is introduced, where E = electric fieldstrength , B = magnetic induction, j = √−1 , and a and b are real or pure imaginary constants. The components of Q… CONTINUE READING
