  • Section 14: Dielectric Properties of Insulators
    Physics 927 E.Y.Tsymbal Section 14: Dielectric properties of insulators The central quantity in the physics of dielectrics is the polarization of the material P. The polarization P is defined as the dipole moment p per unit volume. The dipole moment of a system of charges is given by = p qiri (1) i where ri is the position vector of charge qi. The value of the sum is independent of the choice of the origin of system, provided that the system in neutral. The simplest case of an electric dipole is a system consisting of a positive and negative charge, so that the dipole moment is equal to qa, where a is a vector connecting the two charges (from negative to positive). The electric field produces by the dipole moment at distances much larger than a is given by (in CGS units) 3(p⋅r)r − r 2p E(r) = (2) r5 According to electrostatics the electric field E is related to a scalar potential as follows E = −∇ϕ , (3) which gives the potential p ⋅r ϕ(r) = (4) r3 When solving electrostatics problem in many cases it is more convenient to work with the potential rather than the field. A dielectric acquires a polarization due to an applied electric field. This polarization is the consequence of redistribution of charges inside the dielectric. From the macroscopic point of view the dielectric can be considered as a material with no net charges in the interior of the material and induced negative and positive charges on the left and right surfaces of the dielectric.

Magnetohydrodynamic dynamo models: motion and eddy currents in the fluid core, mechanical analogues. Background reading: Fowler §3.1 & 7.9.2, Lowrie §5.2 & 5.4 GEOPHYSICS (08/430/0012) MAGNETIC FORCES Magnetic forces are forces associated with the motion of electric charges, either as electric currents in conductors or, in the case of magnetic materials, as the orbital and spin motions of electrons in atoms. Although the concept of a magnetic pole is sometimes useful, it is diácult to relate precisely to observation; for example, all attempts to find a magnetic monopole have failed, and the model of permanent magnets as magnetic dipoles with north and south poles is not particularly accurate. Consequently moving charges are normally regarded as fundamental in magnetism. Basic observations 1. Permanent magnets A magnet attracts iron and steel, the attraction being most marked close to its ends.

  • Class 35: Magnetic Moments and Intrinsic Spin
    Class 35: Magnetic moments and intrinsic spin A small current loop produces a dipole magnetic field. The dipole moment, m, of the current loop is a vector with direction perpendicular to the plane of the loop and magnitude equal to the product of the area of the loop, A, and the current, I, i.e. m = AI . A magnetic dipole placed in a magnetic field, B, τ experiences a torque =m × B , which tends to align an initially stationary N dipole with the field, as shown in the figure on the right, where the dipole is represented as a bar magnetic with North and South poles. The work done by the torque in turning through a small angle dθ (> 0) is θ dW==−τθ dmBsin θθ d = mB d ( cos θ ) . (35.1) S Because the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy, by applying conservation of mechanical energy, we see that the potential energy of a dipole in a magnetic field is V =−mBcosθ =−⋅ mB , (35.2) where the zero point is taken to be when the direction of the dipole is orthogonal to the magnetic field. The minimum potential occurs when the dipole is aligned with the magnetic field. An electron of mass me moving in a circle of radius r with speed v is equivalent to current loop where the current is the electron charge divided by the period of the motion. The magnetic moment has magnitude π r2 e1 1 e m = =rve = L , (35.3) 2π r v 2 2 m e where L is the magnitude of the angular momentum.

  • Frequency Dependence of the Permittivity
    Frequency dependence of the permittivity February 7, 2016 In materials, the dielectric “constant” and permeability are actually frequency dependent. This does not affect our results for single frequency modes, but when we have a superposition of frequencies it leads to dispersion. We begin with a simple model for this behavior. The variation of the permeability is often quite weak, and we may take µ = µ0. 1 Frequency dependence of the permittivity 1.1 Permittivity produced by a static field The electrostatic treatment of the dielectric constant begins with the electric dipole moment produced by 2 an electron in a static electric field E. The electron experiences a linear restoring force, F = −m!0x, 2 eE = m!0x where !0 characterizes the strength of the atom’s restoring potential. The resulting displacement of charge, eE x = 2 , produces a molecular polarization m!0 pmol = ex eE = 2 m!0 Then, if there are N molecules per unit volume with Z electrons per molecule, the dipole moment per unit volume is P = NZpmol ≡ 0χeE so that NZe2 0χe = 2 m!0 Next, using D = 0E + P E = 0E + 0χeE the relative dielectric constant is = = 1 + χe 0 NZe2 = 1 + 2 m!00 This result changes when there is time dependence to the electric field, with the dielectric constant showing frequency dependence. 1 1.2 Permittivity in the presence of an oscillating electric field Suppose the material is sufficiently diffuse that the applied electric field is about equal to the electric field at each atom, and that the response of the atomic electrons may be modeled as harmonic.

    Chapter 32 - Magnetism of Matter; Maxwell’s Equations 1. The simplest magnetic structure that can exist is a magnetic dipole. Magnetic monopoles do not exist. 2. (a) The orbital magnetic moment is given by q µorb = Lorb. 2m For macroscopic orbits, the angular momentum is L = mvr = mωr2. (It also possible to get this result from µ = NiA and considering the current to be i = q/T = qω/2π.) (b) The spin angular momentum of an electron is quantized and has the z component eh µs,z = ± 4πm where h =6.63 × 10−34 Js is Planck’s constant. 3. Magnetic materials. (a) Diamagnetism is exhibited by all common materials but is so feeble that it can be masked. A diamagnetic material placed in an external magnetic field develops a magnetic dipole moment directed opposite to the external field. When the external field is removed, the dipole moment disappears. If the external field is nonuniform, the diamagnetic material is repelled from a region of greater magnetic field toward a region of lesser field. (b) Paramagnetism is due to the interaction of magnetic dipoles in the material. A param- agnetic material placed in an external magnetic field develops a magnetic dipole moment in the direction of the external field. If the field is removed, the induced dipole moment will disappear. If the field is nonuniform, the paramagnetic material is attracted toward a region of greater magnetic field from a region of lesser field. (c) Ferromagnetism is the property responsible for what is commonly called “magnetic” materials. A ferromagnetic material placed in an external magnetic field develops a strong magnetic dipole moment in the direction of the external field.
