Abstract: In this paper, the global superconvergence is analysed on two schemes (a mixed finite element scheme and a finite element scheme) for Maxwell's equations in $R^3$. Such a supercovergence analysis is achieved by means of the technique of integral identity (which has been used in the supercovergence analysis for many other equations and schemes) on a rectangular mesh, and then are generalized into more general domains and problems with the variable coefficients. Besides being more direct, our analysis generalizes the results of Monk.
