Abstract

In this paper, by defining properties of the real and complex quaternion algebras, the electromagnetic field equations including monopoles have been studied in \(\hbox {S}'\) reference systems, which moves with the velocity u according to the fixed reference system \(\hbox {S}\). Quaternionic source and wave equalities have been derived in a more compact and elegant manner in \(\hbox {S}'\) system. Besides, Poynting theorem has been firstly obtained in moving media. Additionally, the comparisons between \(\hbox {S}\) and \(\hbox {S}'\) reference systems have been separately done for field, source, potential and wave equations in quaternion basis elements. Furthermore, Poynting theorems have been compared by means of \(\hbox {S}\) and \(\hbox {S}'\) systems for the first time.
