SUMMARY
Applying electromagnetic (EM) theory equations directly in examination papers is permissible, particularly for radiation fields. The equations discussed include the relationships E=i(k.E), B=i(k.B), and their time derivatives (∂/∂t)E=-iwE and (∂/∂t)B=-iwB. Students should confirm with their lecturers regarding the specific requirements for stating or deriving these equations during exams.
