Electromagnetism Ch.7 Methods of Math. Physics, Friday 8 April 2011, EJZ • Inductors and inductance • Waves and wave equations • Electromagnetism & Maxwell’s eqns • Derive EM wave equation and speed of light
Wave equation 1. Differentiate dD/dt d2D/dt2 2. Differentiate dD/dx d2D/dx2 3. Find the speed from
Gauss: E fields diverge from charges Lorentz force: E fields can move charges Causes and effects of E F = q E
Ampere: B fields curl around currents Lorentz force: B fields can bend moving charges Causes and effects of B F = q v x B = IL x B
Changing fields create new fields! Faraday: Changing magnetic flux induces circulating electric field Guess what a changing E field induces?
Changing E field creates B field! Current piles charge onto capacitor Magnetic field doesn’t stop Changing electric flux →“displacement current” → magnetic circulation
Maxwell eqns → electromagnetic waves Consider waves traveling in the x direction with frequency f = w/2p and wavelength l= 2p/k E(x,t)=E0 sin (kx-wt) and B(x,t)=B0 sin (kx-wt) Do these solve Faraday and Ampere’s laws?
Speed of Maxwellian waves? Faraday: wB0 = k E0 Ampere: m0e0wE0=kB0 Eliminate B0/E0 and solve for v=w/k e0= 8.85 x 10-12 C2 N/m2 m0 = 4 px10-7 Tm/A
Maxwell equations → Light E(x,t)=E0 sin (kx-wt) and B(x,t)=B0 sin (kx-wt) solve Faraday’s and Ampere’s laws. Electromagnetic waves in vacuum have speed c and energy/volume = 1/2 e0 E2 = B2 /(2m0 )
