31// class G4ElectroMagneticField
32//
33// Class description:
34//
35// A full Electromagnetic field, containing both electric and magnetic fields.
36// It is an abstract class, and a derived type of this field must be
37// created by the user to describe his/her field configuration.
38
39// We have established a convention for the electromagnetic field components:
40// In the GetValue method, the return values of Bfield will have
41// the following meaning
42// - Components 0, 1 and 2 are the Magnetic Field (x, y, z respectively);
43// - Components 3, 4 and 5 are the Electric field (x, y, z respectively).
44//
45// Note 1: one or the other field could optional, depending on the Equation
46// Note 2: such a convention is required between any field and its
47// corresponding equation of motion.
48//
49// History:
50// - Created: J. Apostolakis, November 12th, 1998
51// - Modified:
52// V. Grichine 8 Nov 2001: Extended "Point" arg to [4] array to add time
53// G. Cosmo 2 Apr 2003: Reorgansised, moved inline methods to .cc
54// J. Apostolakis 5 Nov 2003: Derive directly from G4Field
55// J. Apostolakis 31 Aug 2004: Information on convention for components
