The last inequality means that the energy introduced through the extraneous currents y always exceeds the sum of the energy dissipated in Joule heat within the domain V1 and the electric and magnetic energy stored in the volume Vi. In other words, there is always a net radiation of electromagnetic energy from any source. 

LC Oscillation Alternation between stored electric and magnetic field energies in circuits containing both an inductance (L) and a capacitance (C). 

Electromagnetic energy is one of the forms of energy that is stored and transmitted by alternating electric and magnetic fields. It is propagated in space... 

The physical phenomena of resonance is due to an exchange of energy between electric and magnetic fields. In passive RLC circuits, the energy can be stored in the electrical field of a capacitor and transferred to the magnetic field of an inductor, and vice versa. In an active circuit, such as an op-amp bandpass filter with no inductors, energy can be exchanged between capacitors. 

If a material has a pure electric resistance property, it is considered an ohmic material and has a constant resistance R largely independent of the potential applied or the current passed through. Other materials that do not comply with Ohm s law have non-linear resistances. Ideal resistors are considered to have no function in storing energy via an electric or magnetic field. However, in AC applications, this is hardly the case because an equivalent inductance or capacitance in series with the resistor element is often considered. The use of AC circuits requires the consideration of additional opposition to current flow due to electrical and magnetic fields treated as electrical reactance effects. An electrical circuit s impedance is defined by the sum effect of resistance and resistance [3]. 

Fig. 7. A representative pulse power machine used for inertial confinement fusion is the Sandia National Laboratory Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator which consists of a slowly charged primary energy storage Marx capacitor bank under insulating oil, a water dielectric intermediate energy store capacitor, a switched pulse forming line which compresses the waveform in time, and a magnetically insulated transmission line which delivers the power pulse to a vacuum diode to produce energetic electrons or light ions, which are accelerated and focussed by electric and magnetic fields onto a target.

The radiative lifetime of metastable helium ions has been investigated experimentally by Prior (1972) using a Penning ion trap. In this device a combination of static electric and magnetic fields is used to create a potential well in which ions of low kinetic energy can be stored for considerable periods of time. The apparatus used by Prior is shown schematically in Fig.7.7. The trap consists of two cylindrical electrodes connected by a web of thin copper wires and two plane circular electrodes. Electrically these form a closed cylinder, 15 cm in radius and 30 cm long, whose ends are maintained at a positive potential of between 0-5-3-0 V with respect to the body. The electrostatic field limits the motion of the ions in the axial direction while a magnetic field of between 40-65 G applied coaxially with the cylinder limits the ion motion in the transverse direction. 

When we open the switch of an inductive circuit such as an electric motor or fluorescent light circuit the magnetic flux collapses and produces an arc across the switch contacts. The arc is produced by the stored magnetic energy being discharged across the switch contacts.
