Study resources
- MIT OCW 8.02 - Course Notes on Maxwell's Equations and EM waves (Article) — The later chapters of these notes give a clean derivation of the Poynting vector as energy flux density, with the physical interpretation you need to state in the exam.
- NPTEL EM Theory - Week 6 (Maxwell's equations, Poynting's theorem) (Article) — Week 6 derives displacement current, assembles all four Maxwell equations, then proves Poynting's theorem as energy conservation for the field. This one week covers most of Unit 2.
