  • Abstract
    In the first of two companion papers it was shown that the addition of a magnetic current density to Maxwell´s equations is a sufficient condition to obtain solutions in lossy propagation media for waves that are not infinitely extended periodic waves. The solutions obtained represented transients that may be used to represent signals having a beginning and an end. This second paper shows that the addition of a magnetic current density is also a necessary condition for the existence of transient solutions in lossy media. The modification of Maxwell´s equations is thus necessary and sufficient for the study of the propagation of signals in lossy media.
