Electrodynamics MOC

Electromagnetic momentum density

The momentum density stored by the electric and magnetic fields is given by

⃗𝐠=𝜖0𝜇0⃗𝐒=𝜖0⃗𝐄×⃗𝐁

where ⃗𝐒 is the Poynting vector. This quantity is required to state conservation of momentum in electrodynamics via the electromagnetic momentum equation.
