Study Notes
Electromagnetism and Maxwell's Equations
- To address incompatibility in equations for time-varying conditions, a new term is added in Maxwell's equations, forming equation (4): ∇ × H = J + J_d, where J_d is the displacement current density.
- Taking divergence leads to the relationship ∇ · J = - ∇·J_d, ensuring continuity of current in time-varying fields.
- The divergence of electric displacement field D = ρ is connected to the displacement current density.
Displacement Current Density
- Displacement current density (J_d) is defined based on changes in the electric displacement field in a magnetic field.
- Example: Current through a capacitor with an alternating voltage illustrates displacement current.
- Displacement currents are crucial for electromagnetic radiation propagation, linking electric and magnetic fields.
Electromagnetic Waves
- Coupled electric and magnetic fields transport energy over long distances, producing electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves.
- Equation representing the wave characteristics involves the velocity of electromagnetic waves (v = 1/√(με)), equating to the speed of light (c = 3 x 10^8 m/s) in free space.
Poynting Vector and Energy Storage
- Poynting vector (P = E × B) represents energy transfer per unit time per unit area.
- Energy stored in electric fields is given by U = ϵE dv, while magnetic fields are represented by U = ϵH dv.
Wave Equations in Dielectric Medium
- Wave equations for electric (E) and magnetic (H) fields can be expressed in time-varying forms, leading to propagation equations for both fields.
- The propagation constant in the dielectric medium is defined as γ = μjω(σ + jωε).
Lossless Dielectric Characteristics
- In lossless dielectrics (σ = 0, ϵ = ϵ_r, μ = μ_r), attenuation (α) is zero, while the phase constant (β) is given by β = ω√(με).
- Velocity of electromagnetic waves in lossless mediums is u = 1/√(με), with λ determined from this relationship.
Intrinsic Impedance
- Intrinsic impedance (η) of free space calculated as η = √(μ/ϵ), numerically equal to 377Ω, defining total resistance offered by electromagnetic waves in vacuum.
Plane Wave Behavior
- Plane electromagnetic waves in good conductors (where σ ≫ ωε) lead to α and β approximating real values, indicating strong attenuation in conductive mediums.
- The speed of electromagnetic waves in conductive mediums will depend significantly on conductivity, permittivity, and permeability parameters.
