How to use it

Compare the terms, signs and units with your intended physical assumptions before choosing model inputs.

Result

Equation: -\nabla^2 E-\omega^2\mu_0\epsilon E=i\omega\mu_0J.

Troubleshooting

The equation describes the model assumptions; it is not a separate editable boundary condition. Check the parent physics page for setup and limitations.
