Homework Statement
In my electromagnetics book, in the section that talks about loss tangents, the equation for average power dissipation per unit volume is P=(1/2)*J*E (W/m^3). What does the coefficient of 1/2 come from? Earlier in the book, it gave the differential power dissipation dP= J*E (W/m^3)
Homework Equations
J = current density.
E= electric field.
