...theres no magnetic monopole....!!

The Equations of Electromagnetism
.. if you change a magnetic field you induce an
electric field.........
Faradays Law

.......is the reverse true..?
5
Look at charge flowing into a capacitor
E
B
Amperes Law
Here I is the current piercing the flat surface
spanning the loop.
6
Look at charge flowing into a capacitor
E
B
Amperes Law
Here I is the current piercing the flat surface
spanning the loop.
E
For an infinite wire you can deform the surface
and I still pierces it. But something goes wrong
here if the loop encloses one plate of the
capacitor in this case the piercing current is
zero.
B
Side view (Surface is now like a bag)
7
Look at charge flowing into a capacitor
E
It must still be the case that B around the
little loop satisfies
B
E
where I is the current in the wire. But that
current does not pierce the surface.
B
What does pierce the surface? Electric flux - and
that flux is increasing in time.
8
Look at charge flowing into a capacitor
E
B
E
B
Thus the steady current in the wire produces a
steadily increasing electric flux. For the
sac-like surface we can write Amperes law
equivalently as
9
Look at charge flowing into a capacitor
E
B
The best way to write this result is
E
B
Then whether the capping surface is the flat
(pierced by I) or the sac (pierced by electric
flux) you get the same answer for B around the
circular loop.
10
Maxwell-Ampere Law
E
B
This result is Maxwells modification of Amperes
law
Can rewrite this by defining the displacement
current (not really a current) as
Then
11
Maxwell-Ampere Law
E
B
This turns out to be more than a careful way to
take care of a strange choice of capping surface.
It predicts a new result
A changing electric field induces a magnetic field
This is easy to see just apply the new version
of Amperes law to a loop between the capacitor
plates with a flat capping surface

These are as symmetric as can be between electric
and magnetic fields given that there are no
magnetic charges.

This is the same as the time-zero function, slide

slides to the right changes linearly with time
that is, it moves with a speed v ?/k. The wave
moves to the right with speed ?/k

  • Waves are in phase.
  • Fields are oriented at 900 to one another and to
    the direction of propagation (i.e., are
    transverse).
  • Wave speed is c
