Abstract
In 1986 H.F. Harmuth introduced a modification of Maxwell's equations to study the propagation of transient electric and magnetic field strengths in lossy media. Opponents of this modification of Maxwell's equations have claimed and attempted to demonstrate that Maxwell's equations in their known forms can correctly be solved, for example by the Laplace transformation method, to obtain solutions of transient electric and associated magnetic field strengths in lossy media without encountering any difficulties. This work presents detailed computer plots of Harmuth's transient solutions of the modified Maxwell's equations and that of Maxwell's equations solved by the Laplace transformation characteristic for the two solutions, which indicate that they are not the same. It is shown that Harmuth's procedure results in physically more plausible solutions. >
