WHAT IS ELECTROMAGNETISM?

Electromagnetism is a branch of physics which deals

with electricity and magnetism and the interaction

between them.

Electromagnetism is basically the science of

electromagnetic fields. An electromagnetic field is the

field produced by objects that are charged electrically.

Radio waves, infrared waves, Ultraviolet waves, and

x-rays are all electromagnetic fields in a certain range

of frequency.

The vector r=A+B+C may be written in

terms of unit vectors as:

r =A+B+C = A +

A is the directed length or signed

magnitude of A.

VECTOR FIELD

A vector field in the plane, can be visualized as a

collection of arrows (flux lines) with a given magnitude

and direction, each attached to a point in the plane.

A vector filed strength is measured by the number of flux

lines passing through a unit surface normal to the

vector.

Flux flow of vector is like flow of water or fluid.

A enclosed surface of a volume will have

outward/inward flow of flux through this surface when

the volume contains source/sink.

The net outward flow per unit volume is therefore the

measure of strength of the enclosed source.

In the uniform field, there is an equal amount of inward

and outward flux going through any closed volume

containing no source or sink , results zero divergence.

13

VECTOR FIELD

A kind of source called vortex source that causes

circulation of vector filed around it (source).

If A is a force acting on an object, its circulation

will be the work done by the force in moving the

object once around the contour.

Similarly, the phenomenon of water whirling down

a sink drain is an example of vortex sink.

Basic concept of Electric field

Electric charge (Q) is the physical properties of matter

that cause it to experience a force when placed in an

electromagnetic field.

Point Charge means a charge that is located on a body

whose dimensions are much smaller than the relevant

dimension.

Coulomb’s Law: This law states that, two point charge

Q1 and Q2 separated by a distance R experience a force,

So,

GAUSS’S LAW-MAXWELL’S EQUATION

Gauss’s law states that, the total electric flux through

any closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed by the

surface.

Now comparing eqt.(1) and (2) we find,

-------------(3)

Which is the first of four Maxwell’s Equations to be derived. It states

that a volume charge density is the same as Divergence of Electric

flux density.. Is the charge per unit volume.

1. Equation 1 & 3 states the same Gauss’s law in different way (equ.1 is

integral form whereas equ.3 is differential form)

2. Gauss's law is an alternative statement of Coulomb's law; proper application

of the divergence theorem to Coulomb's law results in Gauss's law.

3. Gauss's law provide* an easy means of finding E or D for symmetrical

charge distributions such as a point charge, an infinite line charge, an infinite

cylindrical surface charge, and a spherical distribution of charge.

Points to be noted

Gauss’s law-Maxwell’s equation

44

APPLICATIONS OF GAUSS'S LAW

Gauss's law to calculate the electric field

involves first knowing whether symmetry

exists.

If field is symmetric, we construct a

mathematical closed surface (known as a

Gaussian surface).

The surface is chosen such that D is normal or

tangential to the Gaussian surface.

if D is tangential, then D. dS=D.ds, as D is

constant on the surface.

if D is normal, then D. dS=0.

45

APPLICATIONS OF GAUSS'S LAW: POINT CHARGE

Suppose, a point charge Q located at the origin of spherical

coordinate system. To determine D at a point P it is easy to assume a

closed surface of radius r=a containing P.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN E AND V-MAXWELL’S

EQUATIONS

Now we know, the potential difference between points A and B is independent

of the path taken. Hence,

-------------(1)

This shows that, the line integral of E along a closed path must be zero. Physically it

reveals that no net work is done in moving a charge along a closed path in electrostatic

field. Applying Stokes’s Theorem in equ.(1) ,

-------------(2)

55

Vectors whose line integral does not depends on the path of integral are called

conservative vectors. Thus Electrostatic field is a conservative field. Equ.

(1) or (2) referred to as Maxwell’s Equation. Equ(1) is integral form and

equ(2) id differential form.

AN ELECTRIC DIPOLE & FLUX LINES

When two point charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign are

separated by a small distance then an Electric Dipole is formed.

When r1 and r2 is the distance

between P and +Q and –Q

respectively. If dipole moment

is p then, the potential at

origin is,

An electric flux line is an imaginary path or line drawn in

such a way that its direction at any point is the direction of

the electric field at the point.

Note that the dipole moment p is directed from -Q

to +Q. If the dipole center is not at the origin but at

r', then equtn. Becomes,

ENERGY DENSITY IN ELECTROSTATIC FIELDS

Suppose we wish to position three point charges Q1, Q2, and Q3

in an initially empty space shown shaded in Figure.

Hence the total work done in positioning the three charges is,

where V1, V2, and V3 are total potentials at P1, P2, and P3, respectively.

In general, if there are n point charges, eq. (1) becomes

ENERGY DENSITY IN ELECTROSTATIC FIELDS

According to Eqn.(2),

So, from Eqn.(4),

By applying divergence theorem to the first term at right side

while dS varies as . Consequently, the first integral in eq. (6) must tend to zero as

the surface S becomes large. Hence, eq. (6) reduces to
