Elements and operations of the algebra can generally be associated with geometric meaning. The members of the algebra may be decomposed by grade (as in the formalism of differential forms) and the (geometric) product of a vector with a k-vector decomposes into a (k − 1)-vector and a (k + 1)-vector.

Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal n̂, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.
Investigation into electromagnetic phenomena began about 5,000 years ago. There is evidence that the ancient Chinese, [1] Mayan, [2] [3] and potentially even Egyptian civilizations knew that the naturally magnetic mineral magnetite had attractive properties, and many incorporated it into their art and architecture.

A linearly polarized electromagnetic plane wave propagating parallel to the z-axis is a possible solution for the electromagnetic wave equations in free space. The electric field, E, and the magnetic field, B, are perpendicular to each other and the direction of propagation. Maxwell's equations can be combined to derive wave equations.
Computational electromagnetics (CEM), computational electrodynamics or electromagnetic modeling is the process of modeling the interaction of electromagnetic fields with physical objects and the environment using computers.
The most effective conductors are usually metals because they can be described fairly accurately by the free electron model in which electrons delocalize from the atomic nuclei, leaving positive ions surrounded by a cloud of free electrons. [24] Examples of good conductors include copper, aluminum, and silver. Wires in electronics are often ...
David Keun Cheng (January 10, 1918 – August 22, 2012) was a Chinese-born Professor of Electrical Engineering. He was known for his work in the field of electromagnetics. [1] [2] His 1983 undergraduate textbook Field and Wave Electromagnetics has been cited in more than 4000 publications [3] and in 2016 is in the collections of about 500 libraries around the world.
