Maxwell’s Equations in Differential Form,
and Uniform Plane Waves in Free Space

Midterm

• The integral forms of Maxwell’s equations contain all the information


pertinent to the interdependence of the field and source quantities
over a given region in space. (Ch 2)
• Derive Maxwell’s equations in differential form by applying Maxwell’s
equations in integral form to infinitesimal closed paths, surfaces, and
volumes, in the limit that they shrink to points.
• The differential forms of Maxwell’s equations apply directly to the field
vectors and source densities at a given point.

the curl of E or del cross E


• Maxwell’s equation in differential form corresponding to Faraday’s
law
• At a point in an electromagnetic field, the curl of the electric field
intensity is equal to the time rate of decrease of the magnetic flux
density
• For a static vector field to be realized as an electric field, the
components of its curl must all be zero.

• It is independent of the coordinate system since (3.1) is independent


of the coordinate system.

x
• Maxwell’s equation in differential form corresponding to Ampere’s
law
• At a point in an electromagnetic field, the curl of magnetic field
intensity is equal to the sum of the current density due to flow of
(free) charges and the displacement current density
• For a static vector field to be realized as an magnetic field, the
components of its curl must all be equal to
• (a) zero, at source-free points
• (b) those of current density, at the point with current density.

• It is independent of the coordinate system.


Ampère’s circuital law, special case

a magnetic field directed everywhere in the y-direction and


uniform in planes parallel to the xy-plane.

Lumped circuit theory approximations (Low Freq.)

• In the strictest sense, every physically realizable pair of time-varying


electric and magnetic fields must satisfy simultaneously both laws as given
by (3.17) and (3.21). (Chap. 3,4)
• Under the low-frequency approximation, it is valid for the fields to satisfy
the laws with certain terms neglected in one or both laws.
• Lumped-circuit theory is based on such approximations.
• The terminal voltage-to-current relationship for an inductor
• (Faraday’s law)
– by ignoring the time-varying electric field term in Ampère’s circuital law.
• The terminal current-to-voltage relationship for a capacitor
• (Ampère’s circuital law)
– by ignoring the time varying magnetic field term in Faraday’s law.
• The terminal voltage-to-current relationship for a resistor

– by ignoring the effects of both time-varying electric field and time-


varying magnetic field.
• Electromagnetic wave propagation phenomena and transmission-line
(distributed circuit) theory are based on the simultaneous application of the
two laws with all terms included, that is, as given by (3.17) and (3.21). (Chap. 6~)

Iteration can’t solve the problem!


It’s not an EM wave!
Faraday’s law

Please check that E & B can also satisfy Ampere Law (special case)!
E & B can satisfy Faraday and Ampere Laws (special cases) simultaneously!
Faraday + Ampere Laws  Wave Equation (Sec. 3.4)
E & B is an plane EM wave solution! (Sec. 3.4)
Stationary loop in a time-varying magnetic field

Ampere

• Radiation from antenna


• the time-varying current generates
a time-varying magnetic field H(t),
which surrounds the wire.
• Time-varying electric and magnetic
fields, E(t) and H(t), are then
produced in succession, thereby
giving rise to electromagnetic
waves.
? Iteration
• Applying Ampère’s circuital law,

• From Gauss’ law for the electric field,

(by symmetry)
• From the law of conservation of charge I

• The same result holds for any contour C lying in any


plane passing through the origin and surrounding the
point charge Q(t) and the wire in the right-hand sense Q(t)
as seen looking along the positive z-axis.
Iteration is OK! Ampère’s circuital law and Gauss law are consistent!
