Abstract

This paper studies the examples of electromagnetic field and electromagnetic wave of plane-sheet current. Through this example, the author explains why the theory of mutual energy flow transmitting electromagnetic wave energy should be used to replace the theory of self energy flow transmitting energy. For radiated electromagnetic fields, both self energy flow and mutual energy flow are active power, that is conflicted with the energy conservation law. The author believes that self energy flow does not transfer energy, so Maxwell electromagnetic theory is properly re-interpretated. So far, the classical electromagnetic theory can not explain the energy flow from the primary coil to the secondary coil of the transformer. This paper achieves this goal for the first time. This example also tells us that the mutual energy flow is generated at the source of the electromagnetic wave and annihilated at the sink of the electromagnetic wave, which is very similar to the photon described by Cramer’s transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics. Therefore, the mutual energy theory proposed by the author can be regarded as the concrete realization of the transactional interpretation. The interpretation of mutual energy flow proposed by the author is also a further development of transactional interpretation.
