INDEX

Vector analysis is a mathematical tool with which electromagnetic (EM) concepts are most conveniently expressed. It's important to learn its rules and techniques first applying it.

VECTOR ALGEBRA:

- Scalars and Vectors.

- Unit Vectors.

- Numericals / Solved Examples.


COORDINATE SYSTEMS & TRANSFORMATION:

In general, the physical quantities in ElectroMagnetics are functions of space and time. In order to describe the spatial variations of the quantities, its important to define all points uniquely in space in a suitable manner. This requires using an appropriate coordinate system. Hence its very important to understand the coordinate system first.

ELECTROSTATIC FIELD:

An electrostatic field is produced by a static charge distribution. A typical example of such a field is found in a cathode-ray tube.Electric power transmission, X-ray machines, and lightning protection are associated with strong electric fields and will require a knowledge of electrostatics to understand and design suitable equipment.

Circular Cylindrical Coordinate System (ρ, φ, z) - Field Theory.

Image
A Vector in Cylindrical system is represented as (A ρ , A φ , A z ) or A = A ρ a ρ + A φ a φ + A z a z Where a ρ , a φ and a z are the unit vectors in ρ, φ and z direction respectively. The physical significance of each parameter of cylindrical coordinates:      - The value ρ indicates the distance of the point from the z-axis. It is the radius of the cylinder .      - The value φ, also called the azimuthal angle , indicates the rotation angle around the z-axis. It is basically measured from the x axis in the x-y plane. It is measured anti-clockwise.      - The value z indicates the distance of the point from z-axis. It is the same as in the Cartesian system. In short, it is the height of the cylinder. Range of the variables: It defines the minimum and the maximum value that ρ, φ and z can have in Cartesian system.  0 ≤ ρ ≤ ∞  0 ≤ φ ≤ 2π - ∞ ≤ z ≤ ∞   Figure shows Point P and Unit vectors in Cyli...

Electric Field Intensity (E) Due To a Circular Ring Charge - Field Theory.

Image
- Consider a circular ring of radius 'a' which carries a uniform line charge density ρ L as shown in figure. - We need to find out electric field at a point P (0, 0, h) on the z axis (z > 0). - Electric field intensity (E) due to any line charge (ρ L ) in general is given as: In this case, dl = a dφ (Since the differential part dl is a differential arc ) R 2 = a 2 + h 2 Consider the triangle shown in the above figure a a ρ + R = h a z → R = - a a ρ + h a z a R = R / | R | a R = - a a ρ + h a z / ( a 2 + h 2 ) 1/2 Substituting all these values in the above equations, the electric field intensity E becomes: - For every element dl there is a corresponding element diametrically opposite that gives an equal but opposite dE ρ so that the two contributions cancel each other. Hence contribution along a ρ due to symmetry adds up to zero. - Therefore the final electric field intensity at point (0, 0, h) has ...

Electric Potential (V) Due To A Uniformly Charged Circular Disc - Field Theory.

Image
- Consider a circular disc of radius ‘a’ which carries a uniform surface charge density ρ s , C /m 2 . - Say the disk lies on x - y plane (or z = 0 plane) with its axis along the z axis as shown in the figure. - We need to find out electric potential (V) due to a circular disk at a point P (0, 0, h) on the z axis (z > 0). - Electric potential (V) at a point due to any surface charge (ρ s ) is given as: - In this case, ds = ρ dρ dφ (Since it’s a disc, the varying terms are radius ρ and angle φ ) R = (ρ 2 + h 2 ) 1/2 - Hence electric potential (V) is given as: - On solving further the equation becomes - As a → 0 , electric potential (V) also tends to zero i.e. V → 0. - Hence the electric potential at point (0, 0, h) is given as: ALSO READ:  - Gauss's Law - Theory. - Gauss's Law - Application To a Point charge. - Gauss's Law - Application To An Infinite Line Charge. - Gauss's ...
