19. PHYS264 SPRING 2008 collected notes page 19 Radial currrent is characterized by its inverse proportionality to r^2 The expression is thus constant, j(r)*r 2 as any emission from point source in any conserved current density situation Big question: current density in plane geometry (surface waves energy density) What is constant there? Also J(  )*  2 ??? NO: IT IS J(  )*  in pl which is sonserved (Bessel functions and spherical Bessel)
