If E and B are vectors in R3, show that
Tij=EiEj+BiBj−21δij(EkEk+BkBk)
is a second rank tensor.
Now assume that E(x,t) and B(x,t) obey Maxwell's equations, which in suitable units read
∇⋅E=ρ∇⋅B=0∇×E=−∂t∂B∇×B=J+∂t∂E
where ρ is the charge density and J the current density. Show that
∂t∂(E×B)=M−ρE−J×B where Mi=∂xj∂Tij
