  2. Chapter Outline • Maxwell’s Equations • Charge and Current Distributions • Coulomb’s Law • Gauss’s Law • Electric Scalar Potential • Electrical Properties of Materials • Conductors & Dielectrics • Electric Boundary Conditions • Capacitance • Electrostatic Potential Energy • Image Method

  3. Maxwell’s equations Maxwell’s equations: Where; E = electric field intensity D = electric flux density ρv = electric charge density per unit volume H = magnetic field intensity B = magnetic flux density

  4. Maxwell’s equations Maxwell’s equations: Relationship: D = ε E B = µ H ε = electrical permittivity of the material µ = magnetic permeability of the material

  5. Maxwell’s equations • For staticcase, ∂/∂t = 0. • Maxwell’s equations is reduced to: ElectrostaticsMagnetostatics

  6. Charge and current distributions • Charge may be distributed over a volume, a surface or a line. • Electric field due to continuous charge distributions:

  7. Charge and current distributions • Volume charge density, ρv is defined as: • Total charge Q • contained in • a volume V is:

  8. Charge and current distributions • Surface charge density • Total charge Q on a surface:

  9. Charge and current distributions • Line charge density • Total charge Q along a line

  10. Example 1 Calculate the total charge Q contained in a cylindrical tube of charge oriented along the z-axis. The line charge density is , where zis the distance in meters from the bottom end of the tube. The tube length is 10 cm.

  11. Solution to Example 1 The total charge Q is:

  12. Example 2 Find the total charge over the volume with volume charge density:

  13. Solution to Example 2 The total charge Q:

  14. Current densities • Current density, Jis defined as: • Where: u = mean velocity of moving charges • For surface S, total current flowing through is

  15. Current densities • There are 2 types of current: • Convection current • generated by actual movement of electrically charged matter; does NOT obey Ohm’s law • E.g movement of charged particles in cathode ray tube • Conduction current • atoms of conducting material do NOT move; obeys Ohm’s law • E.g movement of electrons in a metal wire

  16. Coulomb’s law for a point charge: Coulomb’s Law Where; R = distance between P and q = unit vector from q to P ε = electrical permittivity of the medium containing the observation point P

  17. Force acting on a charge • In the presence of an electric field E at a given point in space, • F is the force acting on a test charge q’ when that charge is placed at that given point in space • The electric field E is maybe due to a single charge or a distribution of many charges Units: F in Newtons (N), q’ in Coulombs (C)

  18. For acting on a charge • For a material with electrical permittivity, ε: D = εE where: ε = εR ε0 ε0 = 8.85 × 10−12≈ (1/36π) × 10−9 (F/m) • For most material and under most condition, ε is constant, independent of the magnitude and direction of E

  19. E-field due to multipoint charges • At point P, the electric field E1 due to q1 alone: • At point P, the electric field E1 due to q2 alone:

  20. E-field due to multipoint charges • Total electric field E at point P due to two charges:

  21. E-field due to multipoint charges • In general for case of N point of charges,

  22. Example 3 Two point charges with and are located in free space at (1, 3,−1) and (−3, 1,−2), respectively in a Cartesian coordinate system. Find: (a) the electric field E at (3, 1,−2) (b) the force on a 8 × 10−5 C charge located at that point. All distances are in meters.

  23. Solution to Example 3 • The electric field E with ε = ε0 (free space) is given by: • The vectors are:

  24. Solution to Example 3 • a) Hence, • b) We have

  25. E-field due to charge distributioncontinuous distribution • Total electric field due to 3 types of continuous charge distribution:

  26. E-field of a ring of charge • Electric field due to a ring of charge is:

  27. Example 4 Find the electric field at a point P(0, 0, h) in free space at a height h on the z-axis due to a circular disk of charge in the x–y plane with uniform charge density ρs as shown. Then evaluate E for the infinite-sheet case by letting a→∞.

  28. Solution to Example 4 • A ring of radius r and width dr has an area ds = 2πrdr • The charge is: • The field due to the ring is:

  29. Solution to Example 4 • The total electric field at P is With plus sign corresponds to h>0, minus sign corresponds to h<0. • For an infinite sheet of charge with a =∞,

  30. Gauss’s law • Electric flux density D through an enclosing surface is proportional to enclosed charge Q. • Differential and integral form of Gauss’s law:

  31. Example 5 • Use Gauss’s law to obtain an expression for E in free space due to an infinitely long line of charge with uniform charge density ρlalong the z-axis.

  32. Solution to Example 5 Construct a cylindrical Gaussian surface. The integral is: Equating both equations, and re-arrange, we get:

  33. Solution to Example 5 Then, use , we get: Note: unit vector is inserted for E due to the fact that E is a vector in direction.

  34. Electric scalar potential • Electric potential energy is required to move a unit charge between 2 points • The presence of an electric field between two points give rise to voltage difference

  35. Electric Potential as a function of electric field • Integrating along any path between point P1 and P2, we get: Potential difference between P1 and P2 , regardless of path 1, 2 or 3 :

  36. Electric Potential as a function of electric field • Kirchhoff’s voltage lawstates that the net voltage drop around a closed loop is zero. • Line integral E around closed contourC is: • The electric potential Vat any point is given by: • Integration path between point P1 and P2 is arbitrary

  37. Electric potential due to point charges • For a point charge located at the origin of a spherical coordinate systems, the electric field at a distance R: • The electric potential between two end points:

  38. Electric potential due to point charges • For charge Q located other than origin, specified by a source position vector R1, then V at the observation vector R becomes: • For N discrete point charges, electric potential is:

  39. Electric potential due tocontinuous distributions • For a continuous charge distribution:

  40. Electric field as a function ofelectric potential • To find E for any charge distribution easily, where: = gradient of V

  41. Poisson’s & Laplace’s equations • Differential form of Gauss’s law: • This may be written as: • Then, using , we get:

  42. Poisson’s & Laplace’s equations • Hence: • Poisson’s and Laplace’s equations are used to find V where boundaries are known: • Example: the region between the plates of a capacitor with a specified voltage difference across it. (we will see in capacitance topic)

  43. Conductivity • Conductivity – characterizes the ease with which charges can move freely in a material. • Perfect dielectric, σ = 0. Charges do not move inside the material • Perfect conductor, σ = ∞. Charges move freely throughout the material

  44. Conductivity • Drift velocity of electrons, in a conducting material is in the opposite direction to the externally applied electric field E: • Hole drift velocity, is in the same direction as the applied electric field E: where: µe = electron mobility (m2/V.s) µh= hole mobility (m2/V.s)

  45. Conductivity • Conductivity of a material, σ, is defined as: where ρve = volume charge density of free electrons ρvh = volume charge density of free holes Ne = number of free electrons per unit volume Nh = number of free holes per unit volume e = absolute charge = 1.6 × 10−19 (C)

  46. Conductivity • Conductivities of different materials:

  47. Ohm’s Law • Point form of Ohm’s law states that: Where: J = current density σ = conductivity E = electric field intensity • Properties for perfect dielectric and conductor:
