Best Answer

Poynting vectors represent the directional energy flux density of electromagnetic fields. The term describes the direction and magnitude of how energy flows in electromagnetic waves.

What is the poynting vector?

The poynting vector is that one which represents the directional energy flux density of the electromagnetic field.


For a parallel plate capacitor is The poynting vector points everywhere radially outward of the volume between plates?

No, the Poynting vector does not point radially outward in the volume between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The Poynting vector represents the direction and flow of electromagnetic energy, and in the case of a static electric field between the plates, the Poynting vector is zero within the volume between the plates.

What does the pointing vector represent?

A vector already points, without needing an extra. I wonder if you mean "Poynting Vector" which shows the direction and magnitude of power flow in radiation.

What Example of power flow by using pointing vector?

The direction of power flow is in the direction of the Poynting vector.The vector itself is the cross product of the Electrostatic field and the Magnetic field.P = E x H
