Abstract

In electric circuits, energy is delivered by electromagnetic fields through the space, as suggested by Kraus and Carver. They provide insights by showing electric/magnetic fields and Poynting vector directions around a DC circuit. In this work, the energy flow mechanism by Kraus and Carver is further studied theoretically for arbitrary terminal potentials of a DC power source.

Keywords

energy flow in circuits, electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic theories, Kraus and Carver’s method, Poynting theorem, Poynting vectors, power flow.

Subject

Comment: Fig. 1 and text are edited with more details about the subject. In Fig. 1, electric and magnetic fields are visualized in addition to the Poynting vectors to better reflect the energy flow mechanism in circuits described by Kraus and Carver in 1973. In Introduction, more details are provided about the Kraus and Carver's explanation, which is the fundamental concept based on which this paper discusses the subject.
