The Poynting theorem represents the time rate change of electromagnetic energy within a certain volume plus the time rate of energy flowing out through the boundary surface is equal to the power transferred into the electromagnetic field.
This statement follows the conservation of energy in electromagnetism and is known as the Poynting theorem.

4. Poynting Theorem
⟹ − 𝑱. 𝑬 𝒅𝒗 =
𝝏
𝝏𝒕
𝟏
𝟐
𝑬. 𝑫 + 𝑯. 𝑩 𝒅𝒗 + 𝑯 × 𝑬 𝒅𝒔
Where
J- Current Density, E- Electric Field Vector ,D- Displacement Charge vector
& H - Magnetic field Vector
The term 𝑯 × 𝑬 is said to be Poynting vector.
5. Interpretation of 𝑯 × 𝑬 𝒅𝒔
The term 𝑯 × 𝑬 𝒅𝒔 represent the amount of energy crossing the closed
surface per second. The vector 𝑯 × 𝑬 is called Poynting vector &
representing by the symbol S.
S= 𝑯 × 𝑬
This term also represent the energy flow per unit time per unit area.
Therefore the Physical interpretation of Poynting vector indicates
power flux.
6. Interpretation of −(𝑱. 𝑬)𝒅𝒗
• The electromagnetic force due to field vector E & B acting on the charged particles
is
𝑭 = 𝒒(𝑬 + 𝒗 × 𝑩)
Here the magnetic force always be perpendicular to velocity and so magnetic field does
no work.
• The rate of doing work by the electromagnetic field E & B is
𝝏𝑾
𝝏𝒕
= 𝑭 ∙ 𝒗 = 𝒒 𝑬 + 𝒗 × 𝑩 = 𝒒𝑬𝒗
• If 𝑭𝒎 is the mechanical force, the work done against electromagnetic field vector is
𝝏𝑾𝒎
𝝏𝒕
= 𝑭𝒎𝒗 = −𝑭𝒗 = −𝒒𝑬𝒗
7. If electromagnetic field consists of group of charges then
𝝏𝑾𝒎
𝝏𝒕
=
𝒊
𝒏𝒊𝒒𝒊𝑬𝒊𝒗𝒊
Here Current density is given by
𝑱 = 𝒊 𝒏𝒊𝒒𝒊𝒗𝒊
𝝏𝑾𝒎
𝝏𝒕
= −
𝒊
𝑱𝒊𝑬𝒊 = −𝑱𝑬
Therefore the term −(𝑱 ∙ 𝑬) 𝒅𝒗 represent, the rate of energy transferred into
the electromagnetic field through the motion of free charge in volume ‘V’.
Power density i.e.
transferred into
EM-field
8. Interpretation of
𝝏
𝝏𝒕
𝟏
𝟐
𝑬. 𝑫 + 𝑯. 𝑩 𝒅𝒗
The electrostatic and magneto-static energy is
𝑼𝒆 =
𝟏
𝟐
𝑬 ∙ 𝑫 𝒅𝒗 → Electrostatic energy in volume ‘V’
𝑼𝒎 =
𝟏
𝟐
𝑯 ∙ 𝑩 𝒅𝒗 → Magneto-static energy in volume ‘V’
Therefore
𝑼 =
𝟏
𝟐
𝑬 ∙ 𝑫 + 𝑯 ∙ 𝑫 𝒅𝒗
is electromagnetic field energy in volume ‘V’ & so the term
𝛛
𝛛𝐭
𝟏
𝟐
𝐄. 𝐃 + 𝐇. 𝐁 𝐝𝐯
represent the rate of electromagnetic energy stored in volume ‘V’.
9. Interpretation of −𝑱 ∙ 𝑬 =
𝝏𝒖
𝝏𝒕
+ 𝜵 ∙ 𝑺
This equation represent time rate change of electromagnetic
energy within a certain volume plus time rate of energy
flowing out through the boundary surface is equal to the
power transferred into electromagnetic field.
This statement follow conservation of energy in
electromagnetism and is known as Poynting theorem.
