    Introduction The Poynting vector is a fundamental concept in electromagnetism representing the directional energy flux density (the rate of energy transfer per unit area, in Watts per square meter) of an electromagnetic field. It is named after its inventor, the physicist John Henry Poynting. Definition the Poynting Vector The Poynting vector is defined as the…
