Abstract
Maxwell’s equations describe electromagnetic fields and their interaction with matter. Generally, these equations are encountered in the time domain, either in integral or differential form. For the solution of practical field problems, their complex notation is often preferred (frequency-domain notation). We will first discuss the time-domain integral form, which for the present is more illustrative and which lends itself more easily to physical reasoning and thought experiments.
