With signature (+,−,−,−) and L=−Fμν​Fμν/4, combine a time translation α∂0​Aν​ with the gauge transformation of parameter −αA0​. Its Noether current is Jμ=−FμνF0ν​−δ0μ​L, the gauge-invariant energy current. The density is (∣E∣2+∣B∣2)/2. On the source-free field equations it differs from the canonical translation current by ∂ν​(A0​Fμν), an antisymmetric superpotential divergence, so total energies agree when the boundary term vanishes.
