Electromagnetism and cross-disciplinary problems

Electromagnetic theory is a model of the electromagnetic phenomenon. As is well known, the model can be expressed in many different ways. All the formulations are, however, concretizations of the same so-called “abstract general” of electromagnetism. In this paper we consider the Maxwell house as this abstract general. The motivation for this is, an increasing amount of progress in engineering science takes place on the interfaces between different fields. Cross-disciplinary results are best achieved by formalizing first the logical reasoning behind electromagnetism, as this then results in an unambiguous basis for cross-disciplinary communication.
