About this template
This template is used to identify a electromagnetism-related stub. It uses {{asbox}}, which is a meta-template designed to ease the process of creating and maintaining stub templates.
Usage
Typing {{Electromagnetism-stub}} produces the message shown at the beginning, and adds the article to the following category:
- Category:Electromagnetism stubs (population: 1)
General information
This is a stub template. A brief explanation of these templates follows; for full details please consult Wikipedia:Stub.
What is a stub?
A stub is an article containing only a few sentences of text which is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject.
How is a stub identified?
- If possible, try to find the most appropriate stub template for the article. A full list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/List of stubs.
- More than one stub template may be used, if necessary, though no more than four should be used on any article.
- Place a stub template at the very end of the article, after the "External links" section, any navigation templates, and the category tags. As usual, templates are added by including their name inside double braces, e.g.
{{stub}}.
Further information
Further information can be found at:
New stub templates and categories (collectively "stub types") should not be created without prior proposal at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. This allows for the proper coordination of all stub types across Wikipedia, and for the checking of any new stub type for possible problems prior to its creation.

Radiative Equilibrium
The discovery of the nature of radiation of heat was gradual. An important early contribution was made by P. Prevost in 1791, writing in French. Prevost considered that what is nowadays called the photon gas or electromagnetic radiation was a fluid that he called "free heat". The present writer's translation of Prevost's 1791 definition is as follows:
Absolute equilibrium of free heat is the state of this fluid in a portion of space which receives as much of it as it lets escape. Relative equilibrium of free heat is the state of this fluid in two portions of space which receive from each other equal quantities of heat, and which moreover are in absolute equilibrium, or experience precisely equal changes. The heat of several portions of space at the same temperature, and next to one another, is at the same time in the two species of equilibrium.
Prevost's contribution was often referred to as Prevost's exchange principle.
Schwarzschild's Confusing Concept of Predominant Equilibrium
K. Schwarzschild in 1906 confused the terminology by his introduction of the concept of predominant equilibrium. He considered a system in which convection and radiation both operated but radiation was so much more efficient than convection that convection could be, as an approximation, neglected, and radiation could be considered predominant. Milne in 1930 noted that this led to a "logically indefensible" definition, but still he accepted its use.
