Reciprocity (electromagnetism)
This page is about reciprocity theorems in classical electromagnetism. See also
Reciprocity theorem (disambiguation)
for unrelated reciprocity theorems, and
Reciprocity (disambiguation)
for more general usages of the term.
In
classical electromagnetism
,
reciprocity
refers to a variety of related theorems involving the interchange of time-
harmonic
electric
current densities
(sources) and the resulting
electromagnetic fields
in
Maxwell's equations
for time-invariant linear media under certain constraints. Reciprocity is closely related to the concept of
Hermitian operators
from
linear algebra
, applied to electromagnetism.
