The divergence of a cross product identity and the vacuum Maxwell equations implyThe divergence theorem therefore gives the required balance withAn additive time-independent constant in $\lambda$ is immaterial. This is the vacuum Poynting theorem in the normalization of the given equations: equivalently ${\partial }_t\lambda +\nabla \cdot (\mathbf{E}\times \mathbf{B})=0$. The order of the cross product accounts for the plus sign in the stated integral identity.
