摘 要:We analyze the propagation of electromagnetic fronts in unbounded electric conductors. Our analysis is based on the Maxwell model of electromagnetism that includes the displacement current and Ohm’s law in its simplest forms. A weak electromagnetic front is a propagating interface at which the electromagnetic field remains continuous while its first- and higher-order derivatives experience finite jump discontinuities. Remarkably, analysis of such fronts can be performed autonomously, i.e. strictly in terms of the quantities defined on the front. This property opens the possibility of establishing exact analytical solutions of the exact Maxwell system along with the evolution of the front.
