  • Abstract
    The study of propagation in lossless waveguides containing lossless magnetized ferrite leads to a paradox: energy is not conserved. This letter shows that the lossless ferrite model used is not physically realizable, as it violates the principle of causality, and should not be used in general theoretical developments.
