Abstract
In this study, the electromagnetic fields are developed in the presence of both the electric and magnetic induction fields by quaternion algebra. In this sense, the polarization and magnetization effects, which are valid in the material media, gain much importance. Quaternions are one of the most convenient tools for representing electromagnetism with regard to having non-commutative but associative algebraic division ring. By defining the quaternion induction field, the quaternion source term has been obtained in basic and elegant notation for the first time. In addition, one type of Poynting theorem, named as the Minkowski form, has been presented including the permittivity and permeability constants by quaternions.
