Maxwell EquationsMaxwell Equations• Maxwell Equations consist of four differential equations, • (1) the law of electro-magnetic induction (Faraday), • (2) Ampere-Maxwell's law,• (3) Gauss's law of electric field, and
• (4) Gauss's law of magnetic field.
(1) rot E = -∂B/∂t (2) rot H = (∂D/∂t) + i
where D is electric flux B is magnetic flux density and i is electric current
density which will be explained later. The latter two equations are expressed
in terms of an operation called "divergence" of D and of B.
(3) div D = ρ (4) div B = 0

3-1 3-1 Maxwell’s EquationsMaxwell’s Equations
• Maxwell’s equations:
where E, D = electric field quantities ε = electrical permittivity of the material
µ = magnetic permeability of the material ρv = electric charge density per unit volume
J = current density per unit area
Relationship:
D = εE
B = µH
Those equations describe the interrelationship between electric field, magnetic field, electric charge, and electric current.

Gauss' Law for ElectricityGauss' Law for Electricity
• The electric flux out of any closed surface is proportional to the total charge enclosed within the surface.
• The integral form of Gauss' Law finds application in calculating electric fields around charged objects.
• In applying Gauss' law to the electric field of a point charge, one can show that it is consistent with Coulomb's law.
• While the area integral of the electric field gives a measure of the net charge enclosed, the divergence of the electric field gives a measure of the density of sources.
![Page 9: EKT241 - Electromagnetic Theory Chapter 3 - Electrostatics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649f2a5503460f94c44cc7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Gauss' Law for MagnetismGauss' Law for Magnetism
• The net magnetic flux out of any closed surface is zero. This amounts to a statement about the sources of magnetic field. For a magnetic dipole, any closed surface the magnetic flux directed inward toward the south pole will equal the flux outward from the north pole. The net flux will always be zero for dipole sources. If there were a magnetic monopole source, this would give a non-zero area integral.
![Page 10: EKT241 - Electromagnetic Theory Chapter 3 - Electrostatics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649f2a5503460f94c44cc7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Faraday's Law of InductionFaraday's Law of Induction• The line integral of
the electric field around a closed loop is equal to the negative of the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the loop.
• This line integral is equal to the generated voltage or emf in the loop, so Faraday's law is the basis for electric generators. It also forms the basis for inductors and transformers.
![Page 11: EKT241 - Electromagnetic Theory Chapter 3 - Electrostatics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649f2a5503460f94c44cc7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ampere's LawAmpere's Law
• In the case of static electric field, the line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop is proportional to the electric current flowing through the loop. This is useful for the calculation of magnetic field for simple geometries.

3-12 Image Method3-12 Image Method
• Image theory states that a charge Q above a grounded perfectly conducting plane is equal to Q and its image –Q with ground plane removed.

Example 3.13 Image Method for Charge Example 3.13 Image Method for Charge above above Conducting PlaneConducting Plane
Use image theory to determine V and E at an arbitrarypoint P(x, y, z) in the region z > 0 due to a charge Q infree space at a distance d above a grounded conductingplane.
From charge Q (0, 0, d) and its image −Q (0, 0,−d) in Cartesian coordinates, we have
