Introduction
In the previous weeks in this course, we have offered you a basic understanding of classical electrodynamics, the theory electric and magnetic fields and forces. This theory – which Maxwell perfected – puts powerful tools in your hands. It does not include quantum theory but it is already consistent with Einstein’s special theory of relativity (although we have not talked about relativity).

Introduction
In the previous weeks in this course, we have offered you a basic understanding of classical electrodynamics, the theory electric and magnetic fields and forces. This theory – which Maxwell perfected – puts powerful tools in your hands. It does not include quantum theory but it is already consistent with Einstein’s special theory of relativity (although we have not talked about relativity).
In this lecture, we hope to entertain you with examples of how much you can already do with this theory, or can do with just one or two more tricks, and examples of everyday phenomena that you can now understand in detail.

Method of images
In electrostatics, E and B are constant in time; so we can write E as a gradient: Gauss’s law then becomes
Now suppose we have any function V0(r) with the property
that Any linear combination of V(r) and V0(r)
will be another solution of Gauss’s law. Which combination is the right one?
The answer depends on boundary conditions.

We have solved electrostatic problems with a few charges, or with a lot of symmetry. Here is a different sort of electrostatic problem: A particle of charge q is at rest a distance R from an
infinite conducting plane. What is the potential V(r) everywhereto the right of the conductor?

Poynting vector
The relation between energy and momentum in radiation:
Consider electromagnetic radiation normal to a metal sheet of size L2 and conductance σ. The electric field induces a current density J = σE. The magnetic field is B perpendicular to J, and like E lies in the metal sheet. It induces a force density J×B = σE×B in the direction of the radiation. The power delivered by the radiation to the metal sheet is I2R = (LJ)2/σ so the power per unit surface area is J2/σ = JE while the force per unit surface area is JB = JE/c. Although this result is for a special case, it must correspond to the energy and momentum content of the electromagnetic wave. Since the averaged Poynting vector Sav is the energy density flux in radiation, the
momentum density flux in radiation – i.e. the radiation pressure – must be Sav/c.

Poynting vector
Example 1: A great amount of debris – asteroids, meteors, dust – exists in interplanetary space. Although we might expect the smallest dust particles to be of molecular size, very little of the dust in our solar system is smaller than about 0.2 μm. Why?

Example 1: A great amount of debris – asteroids, meteors, dust – exists in interplanetary space. Although we might expect the smallest dust particles to be of molecular size, very little of the dust in our solar system is smaller than about 0.2 μm. Why?
The sun radiates energy at the rate P = 3.90 × 1026 W. Assume each dust particle is spherical, with density ρ = 3.0 × 103 kg/m3 (density of the earth’s crust), and absorbs all energy incident on it. The mass of the sun is M = 1.99 × 1030 kg, and Newton’s gravitational constant is G = 6.67 × 10–11 m3/s2·kg. Assume the distance of the dust particle from the sun is R.

What is its radius r if the gravitational attraction of the sun just balances the radiation pressure from the sun?

Answer: The attraction of the sun is
The energy flux from the sun per unit area is the Poynting vector S = P/4πR2. The radiation pressure S/c = (P/4πR2)/c if the dust particle absorbs all the energy. The radiation force is the cross-section of the particle times S/c: Frad = πr2(P/4πR2)/c.

A paradox
Assume two uniformly (but oppositely) charged cylinders, both infinitely long. One fits inside the other but they have almost the same radius r. Outside, a distance L from their common axis, is a particle of charge q at rest. The two cylinders rotate at the same angular speed but in opposite directions. But mutual friction gradually stops them from rotating, starting at t = 0.

Transformers
Power transmission lines lose I2R = IV of power on their way to their destination. A way to reduce power losses is to reduce I while increasing V. 350-kV power lines are common. At the destination, where it is safer to use a smaller potential, a transformer reduces V. How does a transformer work?

With the switch S open, the potential across the primary coil (with N1 windings) is ΔV1 = – N1dΦB/dt, by Faraday’s law. If
the coils link with same magnetic flux ΦB then the potential on
the secondary coil is ΔV2 = – N2dΦB/dt. The relation between
the potentials is ΔV1 = ΔV2 N1/N2. If N2 > N1 then ΔV2 > ΔV1.

Example: A power station in Beersheba delivers 20 MW of power to a neighborhood 1 km away. The resistance in the transmission line is 2.0 Ω and the industrial price of electricity is₪ 0.30/kWh. The power station produces the electricity at 22 kV but steps it up to 230 kV before transmission. (a) What is the (approximate) daily transmission cost? (b) What would be the cost without stepping up the potential?

The power station produces the electricity at 22 kV but steps it up to 230 kV before transmission. (a) What is the (approximate) daily transmission cost? (b) What would be the cost without stepping up the potential?
Answer: (a) We approximate using dc relations. The current is power divided by potential: I = 20 MW / 230 kV = 87 A. The power lost in the line is I2R = (87 A)2(2.0 Ω) = 15 kW; in one day, the power loss is 360 kWh, worth ₪110.

The power station produces the electricity at 22 kV but steps it up to 230 kV before transmission. (a) What is the (approximate) daily transmission cost? (b) What would be the cost without stepping up the potential?
Answer: (b) We approximate using dc relations. The current is power divided by potential: I = 20 MW / 22 kV = 910 A. The power lost in the line is I2R = (910 A)2(2.0 Ω) = 1.65 MW; in one day, the power loss is 40 MWh, worth ₪12,000.

Maxwell’s equations in matter
The plane wave E(r,t) = E cos (k·r – ωt + δ) is often written as a complex function:
where E is a constant vector that fixes the amplitude and the polarization of the wave, k = 2π/λ is the wave number of the wave, and ω is its angular frequency. (You can just ignore the imaginary part of the function.) Substituting this plane
wave into we obtain a solution if and
only if – k2 + μεω2 = 0, hence = ω/k = f λ is the speed
of the wave in the material.

Maxwell’s equations in matter
Writing a plane wave as E(r,t) = Eeik·r – iωt is very convenient! It allows us to write , so we learn that E is transverse in this case as well. The factor of i just indicates a phase difference of π/2. It also allows us to write ik × E(r,t). Now from Faraday’s law we have
hence B(r,t) = k × E(r,t)/ω.

Reflection and refraction
Now let’s consider what happens when an electromagnetic wave crosses between two media, i.e. between two materials with different permittivities and permeabilities. Let the interface of the two materials be the plane x = 0, with a wave Ei(r,t) incident on the left. There will be also a reflected wave Er(r,t) on the left and a transmitted wave Et(r,t) on the right:

Reflection and refraction
On the x = 0 plane, the electric field must be continuous, which means that Ei(0,y,z,t) + Er(0,y,z,t) = Et(0,y,z,t); or in complex

Polarized light
Our plane wave solution E(r,t) = Eeik·r – iωt implies that the electric field of a wave has a certain direction, perpendicular to propagation vector k. Is this a prediction we can test?
Yes, with a polarizer! A polarizer has a polarization axis, and passes only the component of light along the polarization axis.
We will not usually see an effect with one polarizer, because most light is unpolarized – it is mixture of waves with E pointing in any direction perpendicular to k. But with two polarizers we see an effect: the first polarizer polarizes the light emitted by a source, and as we turn the second polarizer relative to the first, we may see all or part or none of the polarized light.

Polarized light
A plane wave E(r,t) = Eeik·r – iωt is linearly polarized, but there is also elliptically polarized light. Elliptically polarized light (including circularly polarized light) reduces to a combination of two linearly polarized waves, with orthogonal linear polarizations, and a relative phase difference:

Spherical waves
We found plane-wave solutions to the wave equation, but don’t assume these are the only solutions. Here a spherical wave:
where p(t) = p0 sin ωt represents an electric dipole oscillating on the z-axis at r = 0; p0 is a constant with dimensions of C·m,
pointing in the positive z-direction, and the dots denote time derivatives. E(r,t) is a bit more complicated.
At large r, both B(r,t) and E(r,t) drop as 1/r.

Interference
Spherical-wave solutions can help us understand what happens when a wave passes through a small hole in a screen. If the wave passes only through the hole, then on the other side of the screen it looks like a spherical wave with the hole as its source:

Interference
If the wave arrives at a screen with two holes and passes through them, the result is an interference pattern where the crests of one spherical wave and the troughs of the other spherical wave add up to zero field:
