Electromagnetic Wave: Electromagnetic Waves or EM waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations an electric field and a magnetic field.
Microwave: Microwave are defined as electromagnetic radiations with a frequency ranging between 300MHz to 300 GHz. Example : Satellite communication signal.
Del Operator / Nabla Operator
Also known as vector differential operator.
collection of partial derivative operators
a metatheatrical operator commonly used in vector calculus
“Operator” is similar to a function
It’s defined as a vector, but it doesn’t have magnitude. So, it isn’t a “true” vector.
∇=δxδi+δyδj+δzδk
Uses of Del operator
Gradient : The gradient of a scalar field is a vector that points in the direction in which the field is most rapidly increasing, with the scalar part equal to the rate of change.
Gradient=∇V
Divergence: A divergence shows how the field behaves towards away from a point. The divergence of a vector field is scalar field.
Divergence=∇.V
Curl: A curl is used to measure the rotational extent of the field about a particular point. The curl of a vector field is a vector field.
Curl=∇×V
The Divergence Theorem :
The divergence theorem states that the surface integral of the normal component of a vector point function F over a closed surface S is equal to the volume integral of the divergence of F
∫x∫y∫z∇.Fdv=∫v∇.Fdv=∮sF.ds
Stokes Theorem
Statement: The surface integral of the curl of a function over a surface bounded by a closed surface is equal to the line integral of the particular vector function around the surface.
∮CFdr=∫∫sF×∇ds
Electric Field
a vector field
the force per unit charge exerted/applied on a positive test charge at rest at a specific point
E=qF
Electric Displacement Vector
is the charge per unit area that would be displaced across a layer of conductor placed across an electric field
denoted by D
D=ϵ0E+P
Polarization density, P =ΔVΔp
Δp=dipole moment ΔV=volume element
Isotropic medium
all properties are uniform and independent of direction
does not depend on the direction
the velocity of light is the same in all direction
Example : Glass
Anisotropic medium
the properties are different in all direction
direction-dependent
the velocity of light differs according to direction
Ampere’s Circuit Law: The line integral of Magnetic field intensity along a closed path is equal to the current distribution passing through that loop.
∮H⋅dL=Ienc=∫∫J⋅ds
J=current density
Maxwell Four Equation
Maxwell first equation:∇.D=ρv
Statement : The total electric displacement through the surface enclosing a volume is equal to the total charge with the volume. The more charge density the more Electric field.
∮D⋅ds=Qenc...(1)
∮∮D.ds=∫∫∫∇.Ddv...(2)[from Divergence theorem]
∫∫∫∇.Ddv=Qenc..(3)[from equation 1 and 2]
The volume charge density,
ρv=dvdQor, dQ=ρvdvor, Q=∫∫∫ρvdv
∫∫∫∇.Ddv=∫∫∫ρvd∇.D=ρv
Maxwell Second equation∇⋅B=0
Statement: The total outward flux of magnetic induction (B) through any closed surface is equal to zero.
From Gauss’s Law, ∮∮B⋅dA=0
∮∮B⋅dA=∫v∇.Bdv=∇.B=0
Maxwell Third equation:∇×E=−dtdB
Statement: The electromotive force around a closed path is equal to negative rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the path. That means change of magnetic flux will create the electric field.
Faraday’s Law, ϵemf=−dtdϕ
Gauss Law, ϵemf=∮cE.dl
∮cE.dl=−dtdϕ=dtd∮S−B.da=−∮SdtdBda
or, ∮S∇×Eda=−∮SdtdBda
or, ∮S(∇×E+−dtdB)da=0
or, ∇×E=−dtdB
Maxwell Fourth Equation or Maxwell-Ampere’s Law:∇×H=J+δtδD
Statement: The magnetomotive force around a closed path is equal to the summation of conductor current and displacement current through any surface bounded by the path. Changing electric field creates magnetic field.
Ampere’s circuit law, ∮cB.dl=μ0i
By Stroke’s theorem, ∮cB.dl=∮S(∇×B)dS
∮S(∇×B)dS=μ0i=μ0∮SJ.dS
or, ∮(∇×B−μ0J)dS=0
or, ∇×B=μ0J
or, ∇×H=J
Modified Ampere’s circuit law,
∮cB.dl=μ0i+id [id : displacement current]
∇×H=J+Jd=J+ϵ0δtδE=J+δtδD[E=ϵ0D]
Derive equation of continuity by Maxwell’s 4th equation
∇×H=J+δtδDor, 0=∇.(J+δtδD)
or, ∇.J=−δtδρ
Why Ampere’s Law is not correct ?
Ampere’s Law is valid only for steady current or when the electric field does not change with time.
∇.J=−δtδρ, equation of continuity
From Maxwell fourth equation, ∇×H=J
or, ∇.(∇×H)=∇.J
or, ∇.J=0, [∇(∇×H)=0] it doesn’t match with continuity equation.
Drawback of Ampere’s Law
applicable for constant current or when the electric field does not vary the time
valid only for the points where there is only conduction current and no displacement current
doesn’t match with continuity equation
