  2. Chapter 4 Overview

  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 God said: And there was light!

  5. 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

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

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

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

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

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

  11. Charge Distributions Volume charge density: Total Charge in a Volume Surface and Line Charge Densities

  12. 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.

  19. 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

  20. 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:

  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.

  37. Electric Potential Due to Charges For a point charge, V at range R is: In electric circuits, we usually select a convenient node that we call ground and assign it zero reference voltage. In free space and material media, we choose infinity as reference with V = 0. Hence, at a point P For continuous charge distributions:

  42. 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

  43. 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)

  44. 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)
