2.7 Energy and Power
Let us consider the principle of energy conservation in volume V, which is enclosed by a surface S. The medium filling the volume V is characterized

by er , mr , and s. Let us assume that in the volume V there are the electromagnetic sources J and M (M is the magnetic current density; see Section 2.1), which cause fields E and H. The complex power that these sources produce is

According to the energy conservation principle, the power delivered by the sources in the volume V is equal to the sum of the power transmitted through the surface S and power dissipated in the volume, plus 2v times the net reactive energy stored in the volume. This principle is called Poynting’s theorem, which can be written as
