FAQ

What is the Poynting Vector?
Poynting Vector is a vector quantity that describes the directional energy flux density of an electromagnetic field. Poynting Vector is usually measured using the Kilowatt per Square Meter for Heat Flux Density. Note that the value of Poynting Vector is always positive.
Can the Poynting Vector be negative?
No, the Poynting Vector, measured in Heat Flux Density cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Poynting Vector?
Poynting Vector is usually measured using the Kilowatt per Square Meter[kW/m²] for Heat Flux Density. Watt per Square Meter[kW/m²], Watt per Square Centimeter[kW/m²], Watt per Square Inch[kW/m²] are the few other units in which Poynting Vector can be measured.
