Study Notes
Maxwell's Equations
- Gauss's Law for Electric Fields: The electric flux passing through any closed surface is equivalent to the total charge enclosed by that surface. This can be represented as: 𝛻.𝐷 = 𝜌𝑣.
- Gauss's Law for Magnetic Fields: Magnetic flux lines are closed and do not terminate on a "magnetic charge." This results in 𝛻.𝐵 = 0.
- Ampere's Law: The line integral of H about any closed path is exactly equal to the direct current enclosed by that path, expressed as
- ර 𝑯.𝒅𝒍 = 𝐼𝑒𝑛𝑐.
- Faraday's Law: A time-varying magnetic field produces an electromotive force (emf) that may establish a current in a suitable closed circuit.
Electromagnetic Fields
- Magnetic Flux: Can be represented mathematically as: 𝜑 = ඵ 𝑩.𝒅𝒔.
Ampere's Law with Displacement Current
- Ampere's Law (with displacement current) states:
- ර 𝐻.𝑑𝑙 = ඵ 𝐽𝑑.𝒅𝒔 + ඵ 𝐽𝑐.𝒅𝒔.
- This incorporates the displacement current (Jd), which is the rate of change of electric displacement field, and conduction current (Jc) which is the flow of electric charge.
- The displacement current can be mathematically represented as:
- 𝐽𝑑 = 𝜕𝐷/𝜕𝑡 and Jc = 𝜎𝐸.
- Combining these, we get:
- ර 𝐻.𝑑𝑙 = ඵ 𝜕𝐷/𝜕𝑡.𝒅𝒔 + ඵ 𝜎𝐸.𝒅𝒔.
- Applying Stoke's theorem, we can express this as:
- 𝛻𝑥 𝐻 = 𝜕𝐷/𝜕𝑡 + 𝜎𝐸, which can be further simplified as: 𝛻𝑥 𝐻 = ε 𝜕𝐸/𝜕𝑡 + 𝜎𝐸.
Faraday's Law
- Faraday's Law states:
- 𝑒𝑚𝑓 = − 𝑑𝜑/𝑑𝑡, where 𝜑 is the magnetic flux.
- This is also expressed as:
- ර 𝐸.𝑑𝑙 = − 𝑑𝜑/𝑑𝑡.
- Faraday's Law in integral form:
- ර 𝐸.𝑑𝑙 = − 𝑑/𝑑𝑡 (ඵ 𝐵.𝑑𝑠).
- Using Stoke's theorem, we can represent this in differential form:
- 𝛻𝑥 𝐸 = − 𝜕𝐵/𝜕𝑡, which can be simplified as: 𝛻𝑥 𝐸 = −𝜇 𝜕𝐻/𝜕𝑡.
Maxwell's Equations Summary
-
Maxwell's Equations are a set of four fundamental equations that describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields.
-
Integral Form:
-
Faraday's Law: ර 𝐸.𝑑𝑙 = − 𝑑/𝑑𝑡 (ඵ 𝐵.𝑑𝑠).
-
Ampere's Law: ර 𝐻.𝑑𝑙 = ඵ 𝜕𝐷/𝜕𝑡.𝒅𝒔 + ඵ 𝜎𝐸.𝒅𝒔.
-
Gauss's Law for Electric Fields: 𝛻.𝐷 = 𝜌𝑣.
-
Gauss's Law for Magnetic Fields: 𝛻.𝐵 = 0.
-
Differential Form:
-
Faraday's Law:𝛻𝑥 𝐸 = −𝜇 𝜕𝐻/𝜕𝑡.
-
Ampere's Law: 𝛻𝑥 𝐻 = ε 𝜕𝐸/𝜕𝑡 + 𝜎𝐸.
-
Gauss's Law for Electric Fields: 𝛻.𝐷 = 𝜌𝑣.
-
Gauss's Law for Magnetic Fields: 𝛻.𝐵 = 0.
-
Stock's theorem and Divergence theorems are essential tools used to derive the differential form of Maxwell's equations from their integral form.
Displacement Current
- In a medium with no conductivity (𝜎=0), Maxwell’s equation becomes (𝛻𝑥 𝐻 = 𝜕𝐷/𝜕𝑡).
- This signifies the significance of displacement current in understanding the behavior of electromagnetic fields, particularly in regions with changing electric fields, even without the presence of conduction current.
