Maxwell’s Displacement Current B E B If we are charging a capacitor, there is

Maxwell’s Displacement Current B E B If we are charging a capacitor, there is a current left and right of the capacitor. Thus, there is the same magnetic field right and left of the capacitor, with circular lines around the wires. But no magnetic field inside the capacitor? The missing Maxwell Equation! With a compass, we can verify there is indeed a magnetic field, equal to the field elsewhere. But there is no current producing it! ?

Maxwell, Waves, and Light A solution to the Maxwell equations in empty space is a “traveling wave”… electric and magnetic fields can travel in EMPTY SPACE! The electric-magnetic waves travel at the speed of light? Light itself is a wave of electricity and magnetism!

How do E&M Waves Travel? Is there an “ether” they ride on? Michelson and Morley looked and looked, and decided it wasn’t there. How do waves travel? ? ? Electricity and magnetism are “relative”: Whether charges move or not depends on which frame we use… This was how Einstein began thinking about his “theory of special relativity”… We’ll leave that theory for later.

Electromagnetic Waves A solution to Maxwell’s equations in free space: Visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, radio waves, X rays, Gamma rays are all electromagnetic waves.

Radio waves are reflected by the layer of the Earth’s atmosphere called the ionosphere.

Radio waves are reflected by the layer of the Earth’s atmosphere called the ionosphere. This allows for transmission between two points which are far from each other on the globe, despite the curvature of the earth. Marconi’s experiment discovered the ionosphere! Experts thought he was crazy and this would never work.

Maxwell’s Rainbow The wavelength/frequency range in which electromagnetic (EM) waves (light) are visible is only a tiny fraction of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Fig. 33 -2 Fig. 33 -1 (33 -2)

The Poynting Vector: Points in Direction of Power Flow Electromagnetic waves are able to

The Poynting Vector: Points in Direction of Power Flow Electromagnetic waves are able to transport energy from transmitter to receiver (example: from the Sun to our skin). The power transported by the wave and its direction is quantified by the Poynting vector. John Henry Poynting (1852 -1914) For a wave, since E is perpendicular to B: In a wave, the fields change with time. Therefore the Poynting vector changes too!! Units: Watt/m 2 E S B The direction is constant, but the magnitude changes from 0 to a maximum value.

EM Wave Intensity, Energy Density A better measure of the amount of energy in

EM Wave Intensity, Energy Density A better measure of the amount of energy in an EM wave is obtained by averaging the Poynting vector over one wave cycle. The resulting quantity is called intensity. Units are also Watts/m 2. The average of sin 2 over one cycle is ½: or, Both fields have the same energy density. The total EM energy density is then

Solar Energy The light from the sun has an intensity of about 1 k.

Solar Energy The light from the sun has an intensity of about 1 k. W/m 2. What would be the total power incident on a roof of dimensions 8 m x 20 m ? I = 1 k. W/m 2 is power per unit area. P=IA=(103 W/m 2) x 8 m x 20 m=0. 16 Mega. Watt!! The solar panel shown (BP 275) has dimensions 47 in x 29 in. The incident power is then 880 W. The actual solar panel delivers 75 W (4. 45 A at 17 V): less than 10% efficiency…. The electric meter on a solar home runs backwards — Entergy Pays YOU!

EM Spherical Waves The intensity of a wave is power per unit area. If

EM Spherical Waves The intensity of a wave is power per unit area. If one has a source that emits isotropically (equally in all directions) the power emitted by the source pierces a larger and larger sphere as the wave travels outwards: 1/r 2 Law! So the power per unit area decreases as the inverse of distance squared.

Example A radio station transmits a 10 k. W signal at a frequency of 100 MHz. At a distance of 1 km from the antenna, find the amplitude of the electric and magnetic field strengths, and the energy incident normally on a square plate of side 10 cm in 5 minutes. Received energy:
