Michael Faraday, (22 September 1791 – 25 August 1867)

an English chemist and physicist (or natural philosopher, in the terminology of the time) who contributed to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. Although Faraday received little formal education and knew little of higher mathematics such as calculus, he was one of the most influential scientists in history;

historians of science refer to him as having been the best experimentalist in the history of science.

It was on account of his research regarding the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a DC electric current that Faraday established the basis for the concept of the electromagnetic field in physics

Faraday Experiment

Michael Faraday started with a pair of metal spheres of different sizes; the larger one consisted of 2 hemispheres that could be assembled around the smaller sphere

+Q

Faraday Apparatus, Before Grounding

The inner charge, Q, induces an equal and opposite charge, -Q, on the inside surface of the outer sphere, by attracting free electrons in the outer material toward the positive charge. This means that before the outer sphere is grounded, charge +Q resides on the outside surface of the outer conductor.

Faraday Apparatus, After Grounding

q = 0

ground attached

Attaching the ground connects the outer surface to an unlimited supply of free electrons, which then neutralize the positive charge layer. The net charge on the outer sphere is then the charge on the inner layer, or -Q.

Interpretation of the Faraday Experiment

q = 0

Faraday concluded that there occurred a charge “displacement” from the inner sphere to the outer sphere.

Displacement involves a flow or flux, Ψ, existing within the dielectric, and whose magnitude is equivalent to the amount of “displaced” charge.

Specifically:

D = Displacement flux density or displacement density

Electric Flux Density

q = 0

The density of flux at the inner sphere surface is equivalent to the density of charge there (in C/m2)

smsreyhani 10 Dept. of ECE

Vector Field Description of Flux Density

q = 0

A vector field is established which points in the direction of the “flow” or displacement. In this case, the direction is the outward radial direction in spherical coordinates. At each surface, we would have:

Faraday’s Experiment Cont.

Faraday concluded there was a “displacement” from the charge on the inner sphere through the inner sphere through the insulator to the outer sphere.

The electric displacement (or electric flux) is equal in magnitude to the charge that produces it, independent of the insulating material and the size of the spheres.

Visualization of Electric Fields

Flux lines are suggestive of the flow of some

fluid emanating from positive charges (source) and terminating at negative charges (sink).

Although electric field lines do NOT represent fluid flow, it is useful to think of them as describing the flux of something that, like fluid flow, is conserved.

Point Charge Fields

If we now let the inner sphere radius reduce to a point, while maintaining the same charge, and let the outer sphere radius approach infinity, we have a point charge. The electric flux density is unchanged, but is defined over all space:

C/m2 (0 < r <∞ )

We compare this to the EFI in free space:

V/m (0 < r <∞ )

..and we see that:

EFI = electric field intensity

Gauss’ Law

smsreyhani 21 Dept. of ECE

Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss

a German mathematician and physical scientist who contributed significantly to many fields, including number theory, statistics, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, geophysics, electrostatics, astronomy and optics. Sometimes referred to as the Princeps mathematicorum (Latin, "the Prince of Mathematicians" or "the foremost of mathematicians") and "greatest mathematician since antiquity", Gauss had a remarkable influence in many fields of mathematics and science and is ranked as one of history's most influential mathematicians. He referred to mathematics as "the queen of sciences".

where n is the unit outward normal vector to the surface, and

where dS is the area of the differential spot on the surface

Using Gauss’ Law to Solve for D Evaluated at a Surface

Knowing Q, we need to solve for D, using Gauss’ Law:

The solution is easy if we can choose a surface, S, over which to integrate (Gaussian surface) that satisfies the following 2 conditions:

The integral now simplfies:

So that:

Example

An electric field in free space is Find the total charge contained within a sphere of 3-m radius, centered at the origin.

Using Gauss’ law, we set up the integral in free space over the sphere surface, whose outward unit normal is ar:

where in this case z = 3 cos θ and (in all cases) az · ar = cos θ.

These are substituted to yield

Example

Let

D = 4xyax + 2(x2 + z2)ay + 4yzaz nC/m2

and evaluate surface integrals to find the total charge enclosed in the rectangular parallelepiped 0 < x < 2,

0 < y < 3,

0 < z < 5 m.

Page 32: Aem Ece 351 E-flux Density(2)

Example Cont.

Let D = 4xyax + 2(x2 + z2)ay + 4yzaz nC/m2 and evaluate surface integrals to find the total charge enclosed in the rectangular parallelepiped 0 < x < 2, 0 < y < 3, 0 < z < 5 m.

Of the 6 surfaces to consider, only 2 will contribute to the net outward flux. Why? First consider the planes at y = 0 and 3. The y component of D will penetrate those surfaces, but will be inward at y = 0 and outward at y = 3, while having the same magnitude in both cases. These fluxes will thus cancel. At the x = 0 plane, Dx = 0 and at the z = 0 plane, Dz = 0, so there will be no flux contributions from these surfaces. This leaves the 2 remaining surfaces at x = 2 and z = 5.

The net outward flux becomes:

Another Example: Line Charge Field Consider a line charge of uniform charge density ρL on the z axis that extends over the range −∞ < z < ∞ .

We need to choose an appropriate Gaussian surface, being mindful of these considerations:

We know from symmetry that the field will be radially-directed (normal to the z axis) in cylindrical coordinates:

and that the field will vary with radius only:

So we choose a cylindrical surface of radius ρ, and of length L.

Another Example: Coaxial Transmission Line

We have 2 concentric cylinders, with the z axis down their centers. Surface charge of density ρS exists on the outer surface of the inner cylinder.

A ρ-directed field is expected, and this should vary only with ρ (like a line charge). We therefore choose a cylindrical Gaussian surface of length L and of radius ρ, where a < ρ < b.

Applications of Gauss’s Law Cont.

In general, solutions to integral equations must be obtained using numerical techniques. However, for certain symmetric

charge distributions closed form solutions to Gauss’s law can be obtained.

Applications of Gauss’s Law Cont.

Closed form solution to Gauss’s law relies on our ability to construct a suitable family of Gaussian surfaces.

A Gaussian surface is a surface to

which the electric flux density is normal and over which equal to a constant value.
