Module 3 : Maxwell's Equations Lecture 20 : Magnetostatics and Ohms Law Magnetic Field and Magnetic Flux Density The magnetic field can be defined as the force experienced by a unit magnetic monopole. However, there are no magnetic monoples. The field due to a current element is given by the Biot-Savart law. Consider an infinitesimally small piece of a wire carrying current in it. The length of the piece is say . The current moment is then defined by the product . Since the piece of the wire can be oriented in any direction the length is a vector quantity and therefore should be denoted by . The current is a scalar quantity making the current moment is a vector quantity. Without loss of generality let us assume that the current element is located at the origin of the co-ordinate system as shown in Fig. According to the Biot - Savart's law the magnetic field ( field due to infinitesimally small current element) at a point is given as Where is the unit vector in the direction of the line joining the current element and the observation point . Since the vectors and lie in the plane of the paper, the cross-product of the two has a direction prependicular to the plane of the paper. Since the direction of the current is assumed upwards, the direction of is upwards and the direction of the magnetic field will be going into the paper as indicated by at point . If we take some other observation point on the left of the current element, by right hand screw rule, the magnetic field will come out of the paper as indicated by . If one streches his imagination a little, he can then see that the magnetic field forms a circular loop around the axis of the current element. The magnitude of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current moment and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source and the observation point. The cross-product also suggests that the strength of the magnetic field is maximum when and are perpendicular to each other, that is, for equal to . As reduces the angle between and reduces consequently reducing the strength of the magnetic field reduces. For extreme case of the vectors and are colinear making cross product and hence the magnetic field identically zero. The magnetic field therefore is identically zero at the axis of the current element. The magnetic field is related to through a medium characteristic parameter called permeability of the medium as The permeability of vacuum is denoted by and its value is Henery/meter. A ratio of permeability of a medium to that of the vacuum is called the relative permeability giving Module 3 : Maxwell's Equations Lecture 20 : Magnetostatics and Ohms Law Conduction Current Density J In situations where there is a variation in the current magnitude it is rather inadequate to define just the total current flow in the system. One can then use the current density as the primary parameter which is defined as the current flow per unit area. Consider a cylinder made of a conducting material with an arbitrary cross-section . Let us assume that the current density exists in the cylinder over a length ` '. If the conductivity of the cylinder is its resistivity is . The resistance of the cylinder between its two ends A and B is then given by For simplicity assuming that the current density is constant all over the cross-section, the total current in the conductor is Due to the current flow in the conductor, there is a voltage drop between point A and B. If we assume the conducting cylinder to be of infinitesimal length we can assume the electric field associated with the voltage drop to be constant between A and B. Then one can write the voltage to be Now from Ohm's law we have Substituting for , and we get The magnitude of the conduction current density is proportional to the electric field strength E. From the Ohm's law we also know that the current flows in the direction in which the potential drop is maximum. That is, the current flows in the direction in which the potential has maximum change. This direction is nothing but the direction of the gradient of . The direction of gradient of V is same as that of the electric field . Therefore we can conclude that not only the magnitude of is proportional to but its direction is also same as that of . The relation then can be written for vector and as This is the general form of the Ohms law.

    Review of Electrostatics and Magenetostatics

    Review of electrostatics and magenetostatics January 12, 2016 1 Electrostatics 1.1 Coulomb’s law and the electric field Starting from Coulomb’s law for the force produced by a charge Q at the origin on a charge q at x, qQ F (x) = 2 x^ 4π0 jxj where x^ is a unit vector pointing from Q toward q. We may generalize this to let the source charge Q be at an arbitrary postion x0 by writing the distance between the charges as jx − x0j and the unit vector from Qto q as x − x0 jx − x0j Then Coulomb’s law becomes qQ x − x0 x − x0 F (x) = 2 0 4π0 jx − xij jx − x j Define the electric field as the force per unit charge at any given position, F (x) E (x) ≡ q Q x − x0 = 3 4π0 jx − x0j We think of the electric field as existing at each point in space, so that any charge q placed at x experiences a force qE (x). Since Coulomb’s law is linear in the charges, the electric field for multiple charges is just the sum of the fields from each, n X qi x − xi E (x) = 4π 3 i=1 0 jx − xij Knowing the electric field is equivalent to knowing Coulomb’s law. To formulate the equivalent of Coulomb’s law for a continuous distribution of charge, we introduce the charge density, ρ (x). We can define this as the total charge per unit volume for a volume centered at the position x, in the limit as the volume becomes “small”.

    Magnetic Boundary Conditions 1/6

    11/28/2004 Magnetic Boundary Conditions 1/6 Magnetic Boundary Conditions Consider the interface between two different materials with dissimilar permeabilities: HB11(r,) (r) µ1 HB22(r,) (r) µ2 Say that a magnetic field and a magnetic flux density is present in both regions. Q: How are the fields in dielectric region 1 (i.e., HB11()rr, ()) related to the fields in region 2 (i.e., HB22()rr, ())? A: They must satisfy the magnetic boundary conditions ! Jim Stiles The Univ. of Kansas Dept. of EECS 11/28/2004 Magnetic Boundary Conditions 2/6 First, let’s write the fields at the interface in terms of their normal (e.g.,Hn ()r ) and tangential (e.g.,Ht (r ) ) vector components: H r = H r + H r H1n ()r 1 ( ) 1t ( ) 1n () ˆan µ 1 H1t (r ) H2t (r ) H2n ()r H2 (r ) = H2t (r ) + H2n ()r µ 2 Our first boundary condition states that the tangential component of the magnetic field is continuous across a boundary. In other words: HH12tb(rr) = tb( ) where rb denotes to any point along the interface (e.g., material boundary). Jim Stiles The Univ. of Kansas Dept. of EECS 11/28/2004 Magnetic Boundary Conditions 3/6 The tangential component of the magnetic field on one side of the material boundary is equal to the tangential component on the other side ! We can likewise consider the magnetic flux densities on the material interface in terms of their normal and tangential components: BHrr= µ B1n ()r 111( ) ( ) ˆan µ 1 B1t (r ) B2t (r ) B2n ()r BH222(rr) = µ ( ) µ2 The second magnetic boundary condition states that the normal vector component of the magnetic flux density is continuous across the material boundary.

Considering a localized steady current distribution, we make a Taylor expansion directly in the Biot–Savart law to obtain, explicitly, the dominant contribution of the magnetic field at distant points, identifying the magnetic dipole moment of the distribution. We also present a simple but general demonstration of the torque exerted by a uniform magnetic field on a current loop of general form, not necessarily planar. For pedagogical reasons we start by reviewing briefly the concept of the electric dipole moment. 1. Introduction The general concepts of electric and magnetic dipole moments are commonly found in our daily life. For instance, it is not rare to refer to polar molecules as those possessing a permanent electric dipole moment. Concerning magnetic dipole moments, it is difficult to find someone who has never heard about magnetic resonance imaging (or has never had such an examination).

    Temporal Analysis of Radiating Current Densities

    Temporal analysis of radiating current densities Wei Guoa aP. O. Box 470011, Charlotte, North Carolina 28247, USA ARTICLE HISTORY Compiled August 10, 2021 ABSTRACT From electromagnetic wave equations, it is first found that, mathematically, any current density that emits an electromagnetic wave into the far-field region has to be differentiable in time infinitely, and that while the odd-order time derivatives of the current density are built in the emitted electric field, the even-order deriva- tives are built in the emitted magnetic field. With the help of Faraday’s law and Amp`ere’s law, light propagation is then explained as a process involving alternate creation of electric and magnetic fields. From this explanation, the preceding math- ematical result is demonstrated to be physically sound. It is also explained why the conventional retarded solutions to the wave equations fail to describe the emitted fields. KEYWORDS Light emission; electromagnetic wave equations; current density In electrodynamics [1–3], a time-dependent current density ~j(~r, t) and a time- dependent charge density ρ(~r, t), all evaluated at position ~r and time t, are known to be the sources of an emitted electric field E~ and an emitted magnetic field B~ : 1 ∂2 4π ∂ ∇2E~ − E~ = ~j + 4π∇ρ, (1) c2 ∂t2 c2 ∂t and 1 ∂2 4π ∇2B~ − B~ = − ∇× ~j, (2) c2 ∂t2 c2 where c is the speed of these emitted fields in vacuum. See Refs. [3,4] for derivation of these equations. (In some theories [5], on the other hand, ρ and ~j are argued to arXiv:2108.04069v1 [physics.class-ph] 6 Aug 2021 be responsible for instantaneous action-at-a-distance fields, not for fields propagating with speed c.) Note that when the fields are observed in the far-field region, the contribution to E~ from ρ can be practically ignored [6], meaning that, in that region, Eq.

    Chapter 10: Electric Current and Power Chapter Learning Objectives: After completing this chapter the student will be able to: Calculate a line integral Calculate the total current flowing through a surface given the current density. Calculate the resistance, current, electric field, and current density in a material knowing the material composition, geometry, and applied voltage. Calculate the power density and total power when given the current density and electric field. You can watch the video associated with this chapter at the following link: Historical Perspective: André-Marie Ampère (1775-1836) was a French physicist and mathematician who did ground-breaking work in electromagnetism. He was equally skilled as an experimentalist and as a theorist. He invented both the solenoid and the telegraph. The SI unit for current, the Ampere (or Amp) is named after him, as well as Ampere’s Law, which is one of the four equations that form the foundation of electromagnetic field theory.

Surface integrals must always be a double integral, since they must involve an integral over a two-dimensional surface. We also have a special symbol for a surface integral over a closed surface, such as a sphere or a cube: (Copies of Equations 5.1 and 5.2) While a surface integral requires a double integral to be taken of a dot product over a surface, a line integral requires a single integral to be taken of a dot product over a linear path.

If the moving charge carriers is in a perfect conductor, then we can have an electric field inside the perfect conductor. Does this contradict what we have learned in electrostatics? Notice that the direction of the magnetic force is the same for both positive and negative charge carriers.

At the end of that course, you will have seen the full set of Maxwell's equations, which in vacuum are ρ @B~ r~ · E~ = r~ × E~ = − 0 @t @E~ r~ · B~ = 0 r~ × B~ = µ J~ + µ (1.1) 0 0 0 @t with @ρ r~ · J~ = − : (1.2) @t In this course, we will investigate the implications and applications of these results. We will cover • electromagnetic waves • energy and momentum of electromagnetic fields • electromagnetism and relativity • electromagnetic waves in materials and plasmas • waveguides and transmission lines • electromagnetic radiation from accelerated charges • numerical methods for solving problems in electromagnetism By the end of the course, you will be able to calculate the properties of electromagnetic waves in a range of materials, calculate the radiation from arrangements of accelerating charges, and have a greater appreciation of the theory of electromagnetism and its relation to special relativity. The spirit of the course is well-summed up by the \intermission" in Griffith’s book. After working from statics to dynamics in the first seven chapters of the book, developing the full set of Maxwell's equations, Griffiths comments (I paraphrase) that the full power of electromagnetism now lies at your fingertips, and the fun is only just beginning. It is a disappointing ending to PHYS 350, but an exciting place to start PHYS 352! { 2 { Why study electromagnetism? One reason is that it is a fundamental part of physics (one of the four forces), but it is also ubiquitous in everyday life, technology, and in natural phenomena in geophysics, astrophysics or biophysics.
