The antisymmetric field-strength tensor , or equivalently electric and magnetic fields relative to an observer.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The electromagnetic field strength is represented by a differential two-form .
A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.

Locally, the electromagnetic field strength is the exterior derivative of the four-potential; global topology may require multiple gauge patches.
Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

Faraday’s induction and field-line experiments supplied the physical concepts that Maxwell recast into field equations.
The source experiment, observation, anomaly, or problem materially motivated the development, revision, or acceptance of the target concept. Historical influence is not logical derivation; the edge detail states the documented role and avoids retrospective origin myths.

Maxwell equations govern the electromagnetic field with specified sources.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The electromagnetic field is the dynamical field of classical electromagnetism.
The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.
wp-physics-electromagnetic_fieldwp-physics-classical_electromagnetismThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
An observer decomposes the electromagnetic field into electric and magnetic components.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

An electromagnetic wave is a propagating field configuration, not a distinct material constituent.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
wp-physics-electromagnetic_wavenlab-physics-electromagnetic_waveThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
An observer decomposes the electromagnetic field into electric and magnetic components.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

Electric and magnetic fields jointly determine the Poynting vector; its surface integral contributes to electromagnetic energy transfer across a boundary under the chosen material description.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
