Intrinsic Angular Momentum of Classical Electromagnetic Field

Authors: Jouni Puuronen

We study the question that does classical electromagnetic field have intrinsic angular momentum, and we find a surprising result that it is not possible to answer this question. We also go through how the quantity "epsilon0 E cross product A" can be used as the intrinsic angular momentum density of classical electromagnetic field.
