    The total energy--momentum tensor for electromagnetic fields in a dielectric

    Full text link
    There are various formulations of energy--momentum tensors for an electromagnetic field in a linear dielectric. The total energy--momentum tensor, comprised of electromagnetic and material components, must be unique. We discuss the construction of the total energy--momentum tensor and the associated conservation laws.Comment: Added publication informatio
