Energy Transport by EM Waves Poynting theorem : Electromagnetic power flow into a
closed surface at any instant equals the sum of the time rates of increase of the stored electric and magnetic energies plus the ohmic power dissipated (or electric power generated, if the surface enclosed a source) within the enclosed volume.
