==Abstract==

<span style="FONT-SIZE: xx-small; FONT-FAMILY: TimesNewRoman"><span style="FONT-SIZE: xx-small; FONT-FAMILY: TimesNewRoman">Electromagnetic waves (EMW) are formed by electric and magnetic fields, both together solution of Maxwell?s equations. The magnetic field is solenoidal always, while the electric field is solenoidal in charge-neutral regions only.&nbsp; Hence, conventionally, free-space electromagnetic fields are transverse to the direction of propagation; also, there exists a electric scalar potential but not a magnetic companion. Contrarywise, for the same homogeneous case, we exhibit explicit examples to show that: (a) Longitudinal magnetic fields are compatible with linearly polarized non-planar EMW, and (b) Magnetic scalar potentials are compatible with EMW. The direction of propagation of non-planar EMW oscillates around the direction of propagation of the plane EMW.</span></span><b><span style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Bold">&nbsp;</span></b>
