Charges and Fields of a Conductor • in Electrostatic Equilibrium, Free Charges Inside a Conductor Do Not Move
Charges and fields of a conductor • In electrostatic equilibrium, free charges inside a conductor do not move. Thus, E = 0 everywhere in the interior of a conductor. • Since E = 0 inside, there are no net charges anywhere in the interior. Net charges can only be on the surface(s). The electric field must be perpendicular to the surface just outside a conductor, since, otherwise, there would be currents flowing along the surface. Gauss’s Law: Qualitative Statement . Form any closed surface around charges . Count the number of electric field lines coming through the surface, those outward as positive and inward as negative. Then the net number of lines is proportional to the net charges enclosed in the surface. Uniformly charged conductor shell: Inside E = 0 inside • By symmetry, the electric field must only depend on r and is along a radial line everywhere. • Apply Gauss’s law to the blue surface , we get E = 0. •The charge on the inner surface of the conductor must also be zero since E = 0 inside a conductor. Discontinuity in E 5A-12 Gauss' Law: Charge Within a Conductor 5A-12 Gauss' Law: Charge Within a Conductor Electric Potential Energy and Electric Potential • The electrostatic force is a conservative force, which means we can define an electrostatic potential energy. – We can therefore define electric potential or voltage. .Two parallel metal plates containing equal but opposite charges produce a uniform electric field between the plates. .This arrangement is an example of a capacitor, a device to store charge. • A positive test charge placed in the uniform electric field will experience an electrostatic force in the direction of the electric field. -
Electromagnetism As Quantum Physics
Electromagnetism as Quantum Physics Charles T. Sebens California Institute of Technology May 29, 2019 arXiv v.3 The published version of this paper appears in Foundations of Physics, 49(4) (2019), 365-389. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10701-019-00253-3 Abstract One can interpret the Dirac equation either as giving the dynamics for a classical field or a quantum wave function. Here I examine whether Maxwell's equations, which are standardly interpreted as giving the dynamics for the classical electromagnetic field, can alternatively be interpreted as giving the dynamics for the photon's quantum wave function. I explain why this quantum interpretation would only be viable if the electromagnetic field were sufficiently weak, then motivate a particular approach to introducing a wave function for the photon (following Good, 1957). This wave function ultimately turns out to be unsatisfactory because the probabilities derived from it do not always transform properly under Lorentz transformations. The fact that such a quantum interpretation of Maxwell's equations is unsatisfactory suggests that the electromagnetic field is more fundamental than the photon.

It held within it the seeds of special relativity. Einstein discovered the special theory of relativity by studying the laws of electromagnetism, laws which were already relativistic.1 There are hints that electromagnetism may also have held within it the seeds of quantum mechanics, though quantum mechanics was not discovered by cultivating those seeds. -

However, Maxwell’s equations have many very important implications in the life of a modern person, so much so that people use devices that function off the principles in Maxwell’s equations every day without even knowing it. 2 The basics 2.1 Static charges In order to understand Maxwell’s equations, it is necessary to understand some basic things about electricity and magnetism first. Static electricity is easy to understand, in that it is just a charge which, as its name implies, does not move until it is given the chance to “escape” to the ground. Amounts of charge are measured in coulombs, abbreviated C. 1C is an extraordi- nary amount of charge, chosen rather arbitrarily to be the charge carried by 6.41418 · 1018 electrons. The symbol for charge in equations is q, sometimes with a subscript like q1 or qenc. -

Magnetism Known to the Early Chinese in 12Th Century, and In
Magnetism Known to the early Chinese in 12th century, and in some detail by ancient Greeks who observed that certain stones “lodestones” attracted pieces of iron. Lodestones were found in the coastal area of “Magnesia” in Thessaly at the beginning of the modern era. The name of magnetism derives from magnesia. William Gilbert, physician to Elizabeth 1, made magnets by rubbing Fe against lodestones and was first to recognize the Earth was a large magnet and that lodestones always pointed north-south. Hence the use of magnetic compasses. Book “De Magnete” 1600. The English word "electricity" was first used in 1646 by Sir Thomas Browne, derived from Gilbert's 1600 New Latin electricus, meaning "like amber". Gilbert demonstrates a “lodestone” compass to ER 1. Painting by Auckland Hunt. John Mitchell (1750) found that like electric forces magnetic forces decrease with separation (conformed by Coulomb). Link between electricity and magnetism discovered by Hans Christian Oersted (1820) who noted a wire carrying an electric current affected a magnetic compass. Conformed by Andre Marie Ampere who shoes electric currents were source of magnetic phenomena.

An Introduction to Effective Field Theory
An Introduction to Effective Field Theory Thinking Effectively About Hierarchies of Scale c C.P. BURGESS i Preface It is an everyday fact of life that Nature comes to us with a variety of scales: from quarks, nuclei and atoms through planets, stars and galaxies up to the overall Universal large-scale structure. Science progresses because we can understand each of these on its own terms, and need not understand all scales at once. This is possible because of a basic fact of Nature: most of the details of small distance physics are irrelevant for the description of longer-distance phenomena. Our description of Nature’s laws use quantum field theories, which share this property that short distances mostly decouple from larger ones. E↵ective Field Theories (EFTs) are the tools developed over the years to show why it does. These tools have immense practical value: knowing which scales are important and why the rest decouple allows hierarchies of scale to be used to simplify the description of many systems. This book provides an introduction to these tools, and to emphasize their great generality illustrates them using applications from many parts of physics: relativistic and nonrelativistic; few- body and many-body. The book is broadly appropriate for an introductory graduate course, though some topics could be done in an upper-level course for advanced undergraduates. It should interest physicists interested in learning these techniques for practical purposes as well as those who enjoy the beauty of the unified picture of physics that emerges. It is to emphasize this unity that a broad selection of applications is examined, although this also means no one topic is explored in as much depth as it deserves. -
Gravitational Potential Energy

In terms of the flow of ideas summarized in Fig. 1.0.1, we have completed the EQS column to the left. Starting from the top of the MQS column on the right, recall from Chap. 3 that the laws of primary interest are Amp`ere’s law (with the displacement current density neglected) and the magnetic flux continuity law (Table 3.6.1). � × H = J (1) � · µoH = 0 (2) These laws have associated with them continuity conditions at interfaces. If the in terface carries a surface current density K, then the continuity condition associated with (1) is (1.4.16) n × (Ha − Hb) = K (3) and the continuity condition associated with (2) is (1.7.6). a b n · (µoH − µoH ) = 0 (4) In the absence of magnetizable materials, these laws determine the magnetic field intensity H given its source, the current density J. -
Magnetic Flux and Flux Linkage
Magnetic Flux and Flux Linkage To be able to calculate and explain the magnetic flux through a coil of wire To be able to calculate the magnetic flux linkage of a coil of wire To be able to calculate the magnetic flux linkage of a rotating coil Magnetic Flux, Magnetic flux is a measure of how many magnetic field lines are passing through an area of A m2. The magnetic flux through an area A in a magnetic field of flux density B is given by: BA This is when B is perpendicular to A, so the normal to the area is in the same direction as the field lines. Magnetic Flux is measured in Webers, Wb The more field pass through area A, the greater the concentration and the stronger magnetic field. This is why a magnet is strongest at its poles; there is a high concentration of field lines. We can see that the amount of flux flowing through a loop of wire depends on the angle it makes with the field lines. The amount of flux passing through the loop is given by: θ is the angle that the normal to the loop makes with the field lines. Magnetic Flux Density We can now see why B is called the magnetic flux density. If we rearrange the top equation for B we get: B So B is a measure of how many flux lines (field lines) passes through each unit area (per m2). A A flux density of 1 Tesla is when an area of 1 metre squared has a flux of 1 Weber. -

Displacement Current and Ampère's Circuital Law Ivan S
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Displacement current and Ampère's circuital law Ivan S. Bozev, Radoslav B. Borisov The existing literature about displacement current, although it is clearly defined, there are not enough publications clarifying its nature. Usually it is assumed that the electrical current is three types: conduction current, convection current and displacement current. In the first two cases we have directed movement of electrical charges, while in the third case we have time varying electric field. Most often for the displacement current is talking in capacitors. Taking account that charge carriers (electrons and charged particles occupy the negligible space in the surrounding them space, they can be regarded only as exciters of the displacement current that current fills all space and is superposition of the currents of the individual moving charges. For this purpose in the article analyzes the current configuration of lines in space around a moving charge. An analysis of the relationship between the excited magnetic field around the charge and the displacement current is made. It is shown excited magnetic flux density and excited the displacement current are linked by Ampere’s circuital law. ъ а аа я аъ а ъя (Ива . Бв, аав Б. Бв.)
