Examples of EM Applications
Dimensions and Units
Fundamental Forces of Nature
Charge: Electrical property of particles Units: coulomb One coulomb: amount of charge accumulated in one second by a current of one ampere. 1 coulomb represents the charge on ~ 6. 241 x 1018 electrons The coulomb is named for a French physicist, Charles-Augustin de Coulomb (1736 -1806), who was the first to measure accurately the forces exerted between electric charges. Charge of an electron e = 1. 602 x 10 -19 C Charge conservation Cannot create or destroy charge, only transfer
Electrical Force exerted on charge 2 by charge 1
Electric Field In Free Space Permittivity of free space
Coulomb’s Law Electric field at point P due to single charge Electric force on a test charge placed at P Electric flux density D

Electric Field due to Multiple Charges
Maxwell’s Equations God said: And there was light!
Current Density For a surface with any orientation: J is called the current density
Convection vs. Conduction
Electric Field Due to Charge Distributions Field due to:
Gauss’s Law Application of the divergence theorem gives:
Applying Gauss’s Law Construct an imaginary Gaussian cylinder of radius r and height h:
Electric Scalar Potential Minimum force needed to move charge against E field:

Electric Potential Due to Charges For a point charge, V at range R is: In electric circuits, we usually select a convenient node that we call ground assign it zero reference voltage. In free space and material media, we choose infinity as reference with V = 0. Hence, at a point P For continuous charge distributions:

Poisson’s & Laplace’s Equations In the absence of charges:
Conduction Current Conduction current density: Note how wide the range is, over 24 orders of magnitude
Conductivity ve = volume charge density of electrons he = volume charge density of holes e = electron mobility h = hole mobility Ne = number of electrons per unit volume Nh = number of holes per unit volume
Resistance Longitudinal Resistor For any conductor:
G’=0 if the insulating material is air or a perfect dielectric with zero conductivity.
Joule’s Law The power dissipated in a volume containing electric field E and current density J is: For a resistor, Joule’s law reduces to: For a coaxial cable:
Polarization Field P = electric flux density induced by E
Electric Breakdown
Boundary Conditions
Summary of Boundary Conditions Remember E = 0 in a good conduct
Conductors Net electric field inside a conductor is zero
Field Lines at Conductor Boundary At conductor boundary, E field direction is always perpendicular to conductor surface
Capacitance
Capacitance For any two-conductor configuration: For any resistor:
Application of Gauss’s law gives: Q is total charge on inside of outer cylinder, and –Q is on outside surface of inner cylinder
Electrostatic Potential Energy Electrostatic potential energy density (Joules/volume) Energy stored in a capacitor Total electrostatic energy stored in a volume
Image Method Image method simplifies calculation for E and V due to charges near conducting planes. 1. For each charge Q, add an image charge –Q 2. Remove conducting plane 3. Calculate field due to all charges
