Electromagnetic Field Analysis and Its Applications to Product Development SPECIAL Electromagnetic Field Analysis and Its Applications to Product Development Tomohiro KEISHI Electromagnetic field analysis, one of the numerical analysis, is now an indispensable method for designing and de - veloping electromagnetic application products. Such advanced analysis techniques including finite element methods and faster, higher-capacity analytical hardware, such as personal computers, enable even the most complex electro - magnetic phenomena to be investigated. Depending on the frequency of an object, an analysis is carried out differently; products with high frequency must be analyzed in the electromagnetic field, while products with relatively low frequency can be studied in the either field: the electric or magnetic field. This paper describes the outline and purposes of the electromagnetic field analysis, introducing some examples of the experiment.

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.

  • 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.)

  • Chapter 1 ELECTROMAGNETICS of METALS
    Chapter 1 ELECTROMAGNETICS OF METALS While the optical properties of metals are discussed in most textbooks on condensed matter physics, for convenience this chapter summarizes the most important facts and phenomena that form the basis for a study of surface plas- mon polaritons. Starting with a cursory review of Maxwell’s equations, we describe the electromagnetic response both of idealized and real metals over a wide frequency range, and introduce the fundamental excitation of the conduc- tion electron sea in bulk metals: volume plasmons. The chapter closes with a discussion of the electromagnetic energy density in dispersive media. 1.1 Maxwell’s Equations and Electromagnetic Wave Propagation The interaction of metals with electromagnetic fields can be firmly under- stood in a classical framework based on Maxwell’s equations. Even metallic nanostructures down to sizes on the order of a few nanometres can be described without a need to resort to quantum mechanics, since the high density of free carriers results in minute spacings of the electron energy levels compared to thermal excitations of energy kBT at room temperature. The optics of met- als described in this book thus falls within the realms of the classical theory. However, this does not prevent a rich and often unexpected variety of optical phenomena from occurring, due to the strong dependence of the optical prop- erties on frequency. As is well known from everyday experience, for frequencies up to the vis- ible part of the spectrum metals are highly reflective and do not allow elec- tromagnetic waves to propagate through them. Metals are thus traditionally employed as cladding layers for the construction of waveguides and resonators for electromagnetic radiation at microwave and far-infrared frequencies.

Questions you should be able to answer by the end of today’s lecture: 1. What are the equations determining propagation of the waves in the media? 2.

How can we gain intuition about the dielectric constant for a material? 4. How do Maxwell’s equations lead to the wave nature of light? 5. What is refractive index and how it relates to the dielectric constant? How does it relate to the speed of light inside the material? 6. What is the difference between the phase and group velocity? 1 Response of materials to electromagnetic waves – propagation of light in solids. We classified materials with respect to their conductivity and related the observed differences to the existence of band gaps in the electron energy eigenvalues. The optical properties are determined to a large extent by the electrons and their ability to interact with the electromagnetic field, thus the conductivity classification of materials, which was a result of the band structure and band filling, is also useful for classifying the optical response. The most widely used metric for quantifying the optical behavior of materials is the index of refraction, which captures the extent to which the electromagnetic wave interacts with the material.
