BASIC CONCEPTS
(1) There are two kinds of charges. These have been
labeled positive charge and negative charge.(2) Electrical charge is quantized.
(3) Equality of the positive and the negative charge quantum:
(4) In any closed system charge is conserved.
(5) Charges generate electric and magnetic fields.

(6) The electromagnetic forces on a charged particle, q, can be obtained from a knowledge of the
fields E, B generated at the position of q by all other charges. The force in Newton is given by
F = q[E + ( V*B )]
(7) Superposition:
E=E1+E2 ; B=B1+B2.
(8) A Stationary Charged Particle(q):E=k q(R/{|R|^3} ); B=0.

E=[k q{R/(|R|^3) }]; B=[{V*E(c^2)}].

Maxwell’s Equations
• We have been examining a variety of
electrical and magnetic phenomena • James Clerk Maxwell summarized all of
electricity and magnetism in just four equations
• Remarkably, the equations predict the existence of electromagnetic waves

• The first is Gauss’s Law which is an
extended form of Coulomb’s Law • The second is the equivalent for magnetic
fields, except that we know that magnetic poles always occur in pairs (north & south)

• The third is Faraday’s Law that a changing
magnetic field produces an electric field • The fourth is that a changing electric field
produces a magnetic field • The latter is a bit of a stretch. We knew that a current produces a magnetic field

• Start with Ampere’s Law
B||Δl = μ 0 I ∑ Earlier, we just went on a closed path
enclosing surface 1. But according to
Ampere’s Law, we could have considered surface 2. The current enclosed is the same as for surface 1.We can say that the current flowing into any volume must equal that coming out.

• Suppose we have a charged capacitor and it
begins to discharge
Surface 1 works but
surface 2 has no current passing through the surface
yet there is a magnetic field inside the
surface.

Same problem here. Surface 1 works, but no current passes through surface two which encloses a magnetic field.What is happening???

• While the capacitor is discharging, a
current flows • The electric field between the plates of the
capacitor is decreasing as current flows • Maxwell said the changing electric field is
equivalent to a current • He called it the displacement current

Electromagnetic Waves
• So, a magnetic field will be produced in space if there is a changing electric field
• But, this magnetic field is changing since the
electric field is changing • A changing magnetic field produces an
electric field that is also changing • We have a self-perpetuating system

Close switch and current flows briefly. Sets
up electric field. Current flow sets up magnetic field as little circles around the wires. Fields not instantaneous, but form
in time. Energy is stored in fields and cannot move infinitely fast.

Picture a shows first half cycle. When current reverses in picture b, the fields reverse. See the first disturbance moving outward. These are the electromagnetic waves.

Notice that the electric and
magnetic fields are at right angles to one another! They are also perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.

Speed of EM Waves
• Now that we have shown how the waves are formed from oscillating charges, we need to see if we can predict how fast the move
•
We move far away from the source so that the wave fronts are essentially flat • Just like dropping a rock in a pond and looking at the waves a few hundred feet away
from the impact point

This picture defines the coordinate system we will
use in our discussion. Wave propagates along the x-axis. The electric field varies in the y-direction and the magnetic field in the z-direction .

• We can say the emf around the loop is the
sum of the individual emfs going along each straight line segment in the loop • We look at the work done in moving a test
charge around the loop • emf = W/q = Fd/q = Ed
• emf = Ey0 = By0v• E = Bv

play the same game as before.
