Strong form of partial differential equation holds all the partial derivatives and
boundary condition requirements, thereby providing exact solution. The weak
form of partial differential equation diverts the differentiability requirements and
satisfaction of boundary conditions near the domain boundaries. The weak form
is easier to use in Finite element method, but the solution is approximate as the
requirements at the boundaries are weakened. This can also lay aid in inducing
periodicity in the domain reducing the computational effort. Employing the
symmetric boundary condition helps in quickening the solver. The group focusses
on using generalized minimal residual method (GMRES), it is an iterative method
for the numerical solution of a non-symmetric system of linear equations. The
method gets expensive as the number of iterations increases, so a
preconditioner method is used to speed up convergence. The large sparse
matrices encountered in the iteration are inversed, so the preconditioner
converts them into column matrices quickening the solution. The GMRES needs
to solve over three million variables which is a daunting task.
decrease the order of higher differential equation to the lower orders, you are changing from
strong to weak form. This is to solve the problem easier while the conditions to solve in strong
form are very hard to manipulate easily.

Magnetic field can be used to calculate absorption rate, say the amount of
radiation.
In order to avoid burning of tissue, we need accurate calculation of both electric
and magnetic field.
