Poynting Physics.|ˈpɔɪntɪŋ| The name of John Henry Poynting (1852–1914), English physicist, used attrib. and in the possessive to designate concepts in electromagnetism, as Poynting's theorem, the theorem that the rate of flow of electromagnetic energy through a closed surface is equal to the integral over the surface of the Poynting vector; Poynting('s) vector, the vector product of the electric and magnetic field strengths at any point, which can often be interpreted as representing in magnitude and direction the rate of flow of electromagnetic energy.
