| Summary: | In this work, the classical concept of symmetry limited to geometric objects (figures and solids), which originated from ancient Greece, has been extended to allow for symmetry studies in other types of objects.
By introducing the concepts of limiting point groups and kinematic elements characteristic for a studied object, it was determined what types of symmetries are exhibited by an electric field and a magnetic field. It was established that in order for a phenomenon to occur, a characteristic symmetry of a medium must be consistent with the characteristic symmetry of the phenomenon occurring in it. It was also determined that the symmetry elements of the causes must be found in the symmetry of their effects.
