APPLICATION OF

TENSOR
 INTRODUCTION

tensor is an algebraic object that describes a

multilinear relationship between sets of algebraic
objects related to a vector space. Objects that
tensors may map between include vectors and
scalars, and even other tensors.

in

DYNAMIC electrodynamics one comes upon the

symmetric second rank

Maxwell stress tensor, defined in (2, 0) form as

In terms of components, we can write the above

expression as follows
