What Is This?

We have a problem,

Bt=iEx

B=itxExxtdt

B=itxE

B=iEc    assuming  B=0    when  E=0

where  i rotates E into the x direction which is the direction of B.

Although, given,

1c=μoεo,  we have

B2=(i)2c2E2

B2=μoεoE2

B2=μoεoE2eiπ

or,

B2=μoεo(Eeiπ/2)2

that  B and E are π/2 out of phase.  And so,

12μo|B|2=12εo|E|2

which is consistent.  Euler strikes again.  eiπ/2=i
