Problem 66b
Consider current I passing through a resistor of radius r, length L, and resistance R. Determine the strength and direction of the Poynting vector at the surface of the resistor.
Problem 66c
Consider current I passing through a resistor of radius r, length L, and resistance R. Show that the flux of the Poynting vector (i.e., the integral of ) over the surface of the resistor is I2R. Then give an interpretation of this result.
