In a region with no current, the Ampère-Maxwell equation and Faraday's law are
∇×B=μ0​ϵ0​∂t∂E​,∇×E=−∂t∂B​.
(1)
Therefore
∂t∂w​​=ϵ0​E⋅∂t​E+μ0​1​B⋅∂t​B=μ0​1​[E⋅(∇×B)−B⋅(∇×E)]=−μ0​1​∇⋅(E×B),​
(2)
where the last line uses the divergence and curl of a cross product. Thus Poynting's theorem takes the form
∂t∂w​+∇⋅S=0​,S=μ0​1​E×B​.
(3)
The vector S is the Poynting vector.
