Consider a source represented by electric current density
measured in amperes/square meter. This vector characterizes the electric current distributed in space and flowing through an imaginary unit surface area (Balanis (1989)). The Maxwell equations with the source given read as follows:
We assume time harmonic fields with fixed angular frequency
. Medium is assumed to be free space.
In order to solve these equations, the electric vector potential
is introduced by the relationships
The thus introduced vector potential satisfies the Helmholtz equation
