Konstantin Meyl Faculty of Computer and Electrical Engineering, Furtwangen University, Germany Abstract— Even though one usually calculates capacitor losses with a complex epsilon it still offends the principle of a constant speed of light. Maxwell’s term c² = 1/ε·µ suggests a physically inexplicable complex speed. By such an offence against basic principles every physicist is asked to search and to repair the mistake in the textbooks. The contribution clearly explains how vortex losses occur instead of using the postulated and fictive imaginary part of the material constant epsilon. The theory better explains the function of a microwave oven, the welding of PVC foils or how capacitor losses occur. The responsible potential vortices can be derived without postulate them from the established laws of physics. Vortex losses can even be proven experimentally and are clearly shown. *The potential vortex is substituted for the vector potential A, which has controlled electrodynamics as “impurity factors” ever since its introduction. A unified theory of all interactions and physical phenomena is missing without potential vortices.*This theory justifies the efforts and the rationale for rebuilding electrodynamics and in so doing effectively removes contradictions of the vector potential and loss theory. Consequences are discussed such as the discovery of magnetic monopoles by the German Helmholtz Center [1], the extended Poynting vector, and many more effects involved with the new approach of the potential vortex, that is replacing the vector potential in the dielectric.
