Yea - and it is a total fable. He had a letter from his high school teacher confirming his math was already of university standard. At uni he did not do well because he was a lazy sod - but never actually failed. Which instead of suggesting you don't need to study confirms you do - even a genius like Einstein did not do well when he didn't. Thanks Bill > >> >> Bill >

Current density(J) is a surface density and a vector; its unit is A/m^2. Electric field(E) is linear density and a vector; Its unit is V/m. Displacement(D) is surface density and a vector; Its unit is coul/m^2. Reference: Classical Electrodynamics(J.D. Jackson) p.820

(^_^) The quantities are defined to be vectors and are operated on by tools from vector analysis and calculus. You are inventing your own tools because you have no clue what you are doing. |
