Week 9 Maxwell’s Equations
5
Demonstrated that electricity, magnetism, and light are all manifestations of the same phenomenon: the electromagnetic field
6
Electric charges generate fields ◦ Charges generate electric fields ◦ Moving charges generate magnetic fields Fields interact with each other ◦ changing electric field acts like a current, generating vortex of magnetic field ◦ changing magnetic field induces (negative) vortex of electric field Fields act upon charges ◦ electric force: same direction as electric field ◦ magnetic force: perpendicular both to magnetic field and to velocity of charge Electric charges move in space
8
Gauss’ Law for Electricity Gauss’ Law for Magnetism Faraday’s Law of Induction Ampere’s Law
9
Integral Form Differential form
10
B and E must obey the same relationship
11
Show that E = E o cos (ωt - kz) a x satisfies the wave equation
12
Frequency f (cycles per second or Hz) Wavelength λ (meter) Speed of propagation c = f λ Distance (meters)
14
Determine the frequency of an EM wave with a wavelength of ◦ 1000 m (longwave) ◦ 30 m (shortwave) ◦ 1 cm (microwave) ◦ 500 nm (green light)
17
E = E o cos (ωt - kR) a E H = H o cos(ωt - kR) a H whereA is the amplitude t is time ω is the angular frequency 2πf k is the wave number 2π/λ a E is the direction of the electric field a H is the direction of the magnetic field R is the distance traveled
18
Euler’s Formula A e +jφ = Acos(φ) + jAsin(φ) A cos(φ) = Re {Ae +jφ } A sin(φ) = Im {Ae +jφ } A e -jφ = A cos(φ) - jA sin(φ) unit circle Real Imaginary
19
Show that A cos(φ) = ½ Ae +jφ + ½ Ae -jφ jA sin(φ) = ½ Ae +jφ - ½ Ae -jφ
20
Complex field E = E o exp (jωt) exp(jψ) a E Phasor convention E = E o exp(jψ) a E
21
The frequency must be the same
22
The plane wave has a constant value on the plane normal to the direction of propagation The spacing between planes is the wavelength
23
The magnetic field H is perpendicular to the electric field E The vector product E x H is in the direction of the propagation of the wave.
24
The wave vector is normal to the wave front and its length is the wavenumber |k| = 2π/λ
25
A plane wave propagates in the direction k = 2a x + 1a y + 0.5a z Determine the following: ◦ wavelength (m) ◦ frequency (Hz)
26
A plane wave becomes cylindrical when it goes through a slit The wave fronts have the shape of aligned cylinders
27
A spherical wave can be visualized as a series of concentric sphere fronts
29
Poynting Vector (Watts/m 2 ) S = ½ E x H*
30
Poynting Vector (Watts/m 2 ) S = ½ E x H* For plane waves S = |E| 2 / 2η Electromagnetic (Intrinsic) Impedance
31
A plane wave propagating in the +x direction is described by E = 1.00 e –jkz a x V/m H = 2.65 e –jkz a y mA/m Determine the following: ◦ Direction of propagation ◦ Intrinsic impedance ◦ Power density
