>>12757432>>12757432Using any kind of sensible units, the electric and magnetic fields should have the same units so that you can add them, so you can just assume non-brainlet units are being used and let f and g be constants, not functions of c.
Then you can do this by the choice
for the vacuum equations. Then
and
The "issue" is that the symmetric nature is broken by the lack of magnetic charges. You would be defining the imaginary part of the charge and current densities as being the magnetic charges and magnetic currents. Of course, magnetic charges don't exist (in some manner of speaking, at least - from another perspective, magnetic charges are just currents in a different frame, and the only issue is our trying to force a wrong perspective on these equations).
