Abstract
Maxwell’s equations in Gaussian units are (9)
where H is the magnetic field intensity, E is the electric field intensity, D is the electric displacement vector, and B is the magnetic flux vector. These vector fields are related by the equations
where P is the polarization vector and M is the magnetization vector, with D, E, and P polar vectors, while B, H, and M are axial vectors. Along with the six Maxwell equations, (4.1) and (4.2), we have the auxiliary equations
Equation (4.5) is satisfied automatically, and (4.6) simply defines ϱ e such that the equation of the conservation of electric charge
is satisfied.
