Because and are symmetric and time-independent, the linear anisotropic dielectric relations giveand similarlyIntegrate the identity from part (b) over and apply the divergence theorem to obtainWhen , this is conservation of electromagnetic energy. The Poynting theorem in a linear anisotropic medium identifiesas the energy density andas the energy flux, or Poynting vector.
