A changing electric field does not cause a rotation of a magnetic field. It is the very same thing as the rotation of a magnetic field. | |

| Oct 9, 2018 at 19:11 | comment | added | Steve Andrews | @jacob1729 Thanks for the information. I don't know anything about transmission lines but would be interested in a reference if you have one. To clarify, I don't have a problem with the phase, but am finding it to be helpful for understanding how electromagnetic waves work. | |
| Oct 5, 2018 at 22:38 | comment | added | jacob1729 | Can you not get rid of the phase issue by adopting a model more akin to transmission lines? Iirc the solution to that has in phase waves of current and voltage. Fixing some definite geometry (eg a coaxial cable) suggests that the B and E fields travelling along the wire are then also in phase and travelling at c. | |
