Chapter 5. Conductors, Dielectrics, and Capacitance

1. Chapter 5. Conductors, Dielectrics, and Capacitance • Current and Current Density • Current(A) : a rate of movement of charge passing a given reference point (or crossing a reference plane). 목원대학교 전자정보통신공학부 전자기학

2. Continuity of Current • The principle of conservation of charge: charges can be neither created nor destroyed. • The current, or charge per second, diverging from a small closed surface per unit volume is equal to the time rate of decrease of charges per unit volume at every point. • A numerical example: p. 123 목원대학교 전자정보통신공학부 전자기학

4. The point form of Ohm’s law Isotropic: same properties in every direction Anisotropic: not isotropic Resistivity: reciprocal of the conductivity Superconductivity: the resistivity drops abruptly to zero at a few kelvin Higher temperature→greater crystalline lattice vibration→lower drift velocity →lower mobility →lower conductivity →higher resistivity 목원대학교 전자정보통신공학부 전자기학

5. Conductor Properties and Boundary Conditions • Suppose that there suddenly appear electrons in the interior of a conductor→Electric fields by these electrons →The electrons begin to accelerate away from each other →The electrons reach the surface of the conductor • Good conductor:zero charge density within a conductor and a surface charge density resides on the exterior surface • No charge, no electric field within a conducting material • Relate external fields to the charge on the surface of the conductor • The external electric field intensity is decomposed into tangential component and normal component to the conductor surface. • Static condition: tangential one may be zero. If not, there will result in a movement of electrons. 목원대학교 전자정보통신공학부 전자기학

6. Guass’s law: The electric flux leaving a small increment of surface must be equal to the charge residing on that incremental surface. • The flux must leave the surface normally! • The flux density per square meter leaving the surface normally is equal to the surface charge density per square meter 목원대학교 전자정보통신공학부 전자기학

7. Boundary conditions for the conductor-free space boundary in electrostatics Summary: p. 132 • The Method of Images • The dipole field: the infinite plane at zero potential that exists midway between the two charges.

8. Semiconductors • Current carriers: electrons (conduction band), holes (valence band) • Temperature↑: mobility↓, charge density ↑(more rapidly) • Conductivity ↑ • Doping • Donors: additional electrons, n-type • Acceptors: extra holes, p-type 목원대학교 전자정보통신공학부 전자기학

9. The Nature of Dielectric Materials • Bound charges: bound in place by atomic and molecular forces. Only shift positions slightly in response to external fields. • Dielectric materials can store electric energy (a shift in the relative positions of the internal, bound positive and negative charges against the normal molecular and atomic forces) • Polar molecule: random dipole → alignment • Nonpolar molecule: dipole arrangement after a field is applied • Define: Polarization as the dipole moment per unit volume dipoles per unit volume 목원대학교 전자정보통신공학부 전자기학

14. The boundary conditions at the interface between a conductor and a dielectric How any charge introduced within a conductor arrives at the surface (surface charge) 목원대학교 전자정보통신공학부 전자기학

15. Capacitance Surface charge, normal electric field, equipotential surface The capacitance is a function only of the physical dimensions of the system of conductors and of the permittivity of the homogeneous dielectric. 목원대학교 전자정보통신공학부 전자기학
