In physics, the Poynting vector (or Umov–Poynting vector) represents the directional energy flux (the energy transfer per unit area, per unit time) or power flow of an electromagnetic field. The SI unit of the Poynting vector is the watt per square metre (W/m 2 ); kg/s 3 in base SI units.
where: is the rate of change of the energy density in the volume. ∇•S is the energy flow out of the volume, given by the divergence of the Poynting vector S. J•E is the rate at which the fields do work on charges in the volume (J is the current density corresponding to the motion of charge, E is the electric field, and • is the dot product).
Building on the concept of the Poynting vector, which describes the flow of energy in a transverse electromagnetic wave as the vector product of its electric and magnetic fields (E × H), Heaviside sought to extend this by treating the transfer of energy due to the electric current in a conductor in a similar manner. In doing so he reversed the ...
S is the Poynting vector, representing the current density of radiant energy; n is the normal vector of a point on Σ; A represents the area of Σ; T represents the time period. The rate of energy flow through the surface fluctuates at the frequency of the radiation, but radiation detectors only respond to the average rate of flow.
This is a vector quantity, its components being determined in terms of the normal (perpendicular) direction to the surface of measurement. This is sometimes called energy flux density, to distinguish it from the first definition. Radiative flux, heat flux, and sound energy flux density [3] (also sound intensity) [4] are specific cases of this ...
The Poynting vector = represents the direction and magnitude of the power flow in the electromagnetic field (the length of the vectors shown here are not to scale; only the direction is being shown) In the region of space around the battery, the Poynting vectors are directed outward, indicating that power flows out from the battery into the ...
