Abstract
Using bivectors for description of the magnetic field, uniting electric vector and magnetic bivector into a single quantity, and employing the formalism of Clifford algebra reveals the intrinsic structure of electromagnetic phenomena, simplifies the methods of solving equations, allows one to visualize solutions and sometimes gives new ones.
