To test your preparedness, a simple five-minute quiz, testing your qualitative familiarity with the material to be discussed in class, will be given at the beginning of some of the classes. No make-up reading quizzes will be given.There could be one today…… but then again…4410/27/200310/27/200321.11 Introduction: Maxwell’s equations21.11 Introduction: Maxwell’s equationsElectricity and magnetism Electricity and magnetism were originally thought to be were originally thought to be unrelatedunrelatedin 1865, James Clerk Maxwell in 1865, James Clerk Maxwell provided a mathematical provided a mathematical theory that showed a close theory that showed a close relationship between all relationship between all electric and magnetic electric and magnetic phenomenaphenomena5510/27/200310/27/2003Maxwell’s predictionsMaxwell’s predictionsElectric field lines originate on positive charges and terminateElectric field lines originate on positive charges and terminateon on negative chargesnegative charges¾¾ElectricElectricfield is produced by field is produced by chargeschargesMagnetic field lines always form closed loops Magnetic field lines always form closed loops ––they do not begin or they do not begin or end anywhereend anywhere¾¾MagneticMagneticfiled is produced by currents (filed is produced by currents (moving chargesmoving charges))A varying magnetic field induces an emf and hence an electric fiA varying magnetic field induces an emf and hence an electric field eld (Faraday’s Law)(Faraday’s Law)¾¾ElectricElectricfield is also produced by field is also produced by changing magnetic fieldchanging magnetic field¾¾Magnetic Magnetic field is also produced byfield is also produced bychanging electric field.changing electric field.Question:Question:is there a is there a symmetrysymmetrybetween electric and magnetic fields, between electric and magnetic fields, i.e. can i.e. can magnetic fieldmagnetic fieldbe produced by be produced by changing electric fieldchanging electric field??????Maxwell: YES!!!6610/27/200310/27/2003Maxwell’s PredictionsMaxwell’s PredictionsIf magnetic field can create electric field and vice versa, therIf magnetic field can create electric field and vice versa, there is a very e is a very interesting phenomenon to be observedinteresting phenomenon to be observedChanging electric field produces magnetic field…Changing electric field produces magnetic field…… which in turn produces changing electric one (but: energy cons… which in turn produces changing electric one (but: energy conservation)ervation)… which in turn produces changing magnetic field…… which in turn produces changing magnetic field…Maxwell concluded that visible light and all other electromagnetMaxwell concluded that visible light and all other electromagnetic ic waves consist of fluctuating electric and magnetic fields, with waves consist of fluctuating electric and magnetic fields, with each each varying field inducing the othervarying field inducing the otherMaxwell calculated the speed of light to be 3x10Maxwell calculated the speed of light to be 3x1088m/sm/s7710/27/200310/27/2003Note: Charges and FieldsNote: Charges and FieldsStationaryStationarycharges produce only charges produce only electric fieldselectric fieldsChargesChargesin in uniform motionuniform motion(constant velocity) produce (constant velocity) produce electricelectricand and magnetic fieldsmagnetic fieldsChargesChargesthat are that are acceleratedacceleratedproduce produce electric and electric and magnetic fields and electromagnetic wavesmagnetic fields and electromagnetic wavesThese fields are These fields are in phasein phaseAt any point, both fields reach their maximum value at the same At any point, both fields reach their maximum value at the same timetime8810/27/200310/27/2003Electromagnetic WavesElectromagnetic WavesEM waves can be produced by an antenna, which is just some kind of wire that is connected to an ac source. The ac source produces oscillating + and -charges which set up electric field (due to the separation of charge) and a magnetic field (due to the current in the wire). Note that the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other. This field begins to move away from the antenna and in a little while the ac source has caused the situation to reverse.9910/27/200310/27/2003Electromagnetic Waves are Transverse WavesElectromagnetic Waves are Transverse WavesTheTheEEand and BBfields are fields are perpendicularperpendicularto each otherto each otherBoth fields are perpendicular to Both fields are perpendicular to the direction of motionthe direction of motionTherefore, em waves are Therefore, em waves are transverse wavestransverse waves101010/27/200310/27/2003Review problem: car radioReview problem: car radioAn An RLC RLC circuit is used to tune a radio to an FM station
