[Phys-L] Re: Odd EM problem



Here's a restatement of my previous answer. It's
the same idea, just in fewer words:

The starting point and ending point for any discussion
must be the Maxwell equation
del F = 4 pi J
or since in this case we have no source terms,
del F = 0

That's a differential equation for the fields.
Maxwell doesn't say anything about the fields
per say, only derivatives of the fields.

Since we were not given any boundary conditions,
we have absolutely no hope of finding a unique
solution.
