// G4ElectroMagneticField
//
// Class description:
//
// A full electromagnetic field, containing both electric and magnetic fields.
// It is an abstract class, and a derived type of this field must be
// created by the user to describe his/her field configuration.
//
// We have established a convention for the electromagnetic field components:
// In the GetValue() method, the return values of Bfield will have
// the following meaning
// - Components 0, 1 and 2 are the Magnetic Field (x, y, z respectively);
// - Components 3, 4 and 5 are the Electric field (x, y, z respectively).
//
// Note 1: one or the other field could optional, depending on the Equation
// Note 2: such a convention is required between any field and its
// corresponding equation of motion.
// Author: John Apostolakis (CERN), 12.11.1998 - Created
// Vladimir Grichine(CERN), 08.11.2001 - Extended "Point" to add time
