The net outward flux through the closed cylindrical surface will be summation
of the fluxes through the top(in a, direction), bottom(in - o, direction) and
the curved surfaces(in oo direction) as shown in the figure.

Since, the vector field has no z-component so, the outward flux through
the top and bottom surfaces will be zero. Therefore, the total outward flux
through the closed cylindrical surface will be only due to the field component

Electric charge is a fundamental conserved property of some subatomic


particles, which determines their electromagnetic interaction. The SI unit

Point Charge
Point charges are very small charges assumed to be of infinitesimally small
volume, although they have finite volume considered as a single charge.
For
example, an electron is considered to be a point charge and has a charge
of
1.6 x 10-1e Coulombs (C). The idealisation here is that the whole charge
is
e
concentrated at a point. In generar, the point charges are denote{ by

ELEGTRIC FIELD IN MATTER

INTRODUCTION
The laws of electrostatics that we have formulated in the previous
chapters,
relate to phenomena where no bulk matter is present. The situation
when
matter is actually present in an electrostatic field is very different. This
chapter concerned with the electric fields in matter includes the following

topics:

ELECTRIC CURRENT DENSITY

Electric current density is defined as the current at a given point


through a
unit normal area at that point. Current densities are vector quantities
an6
it has the unit of Ampere/m2. It is represented by .r. It dan be classified in
the following three types:
1. convection current Density: It is produced by a beam of erectrons
flowing through an insulating medium. This does not obey
ohm,s lau,.
For example, current through a vacuum, liquid and so on is
convection
current. In general, the convection current density through a
firament
with charge density p, flowing at a rate u is given as
J" : PoU
2. conduction current Density: It is produced. due to flow of erectrons in a,
conductor. This obeys ohm's law. For example, current in
a conductor
like copper is conduction current. Conduction current density
is defined

where a is the conductivity of the conductor, and E is the

Displacement c'rrent Density: It flows as a result of time_varying
electric field in a dielectric material. For example, current through
a
capacitor when a time-varying voltage is applied is displacement
current.

ELECTRIC FIELD IN A DIELECTRIG TATERIAL

density inside the material is given by

where

is the polarization of the dielectric material'

3.4.1 Electric Susceptibility

electric field. Since, polarisation P of. a dielectric material varies directly as
thenpplied electric field .E so) we can write

where eo is the permittivity of the free

field intensity as

where e is the permittivity of the dielectric material and e " is the dielectric
constant also called the relative permittivity of the dielectric material.

Relation between Dielectric Constant and Electric Susceptibility


FYom equations (3.1) and (3.2), we may express the electric flux density

as

relation between dielectric constant and electric susceptibility as

tA.3.2 Dielectric Strength


The dielectric strength of dielectric materials is defined ix the maximr:rrr
electric field which a dielectric can tolerate or withstand without electrit.al
breakdown. Once breakdown occurs, dielectric starts cond.ucting and 'rc,

ELECTRIC BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

If

an electric field exists in a region consisting of two different media, thgrr

the conditions that the field must satisfy at the interface betweerr th<
two media are called electric boundary condit'ions. To define the electric
boundary conditions, we decompose the electrical vector into two orthogoiracomponents as

E:Et+8,
where -81 and En are the tangential and normal components of E to tjrt,
media interface, respectively. Similarly, the electric flux density rnav irt
decomposed as

where

Dt and D,

D:DtlD,

are the tangential and normal components of D to the


media interface, respectively. Following are the electric boundary conditir,ns
defined for different media interfaces:

MAGNETOSTATIG FIELDS

Magnetostatic fields are produced by the moving charges, (i.e., charges that
are moving with constant velocity) or constant current flow. In this chapter
we shall study the subject of magnetism that includes following topics:
o Concept of magnetic flux, magnetic flux density, and magnetic field
intensity.

Biot-Savart law, which defines the magnetic field at a point due to a


differential current element.

r
o

Ampere's circuit law, which defines the magnetic field in a loop.

Scalar and vector magnetic potential.

MAGNETIG FIELD CONCEPT


Steady magnetic fields are also called static magnetic fields or magnetostatic
fields. The two opposite ends of a magnet are called its poles. If a magnet
is floated freely, one pole will point towards the north pole and is called the
north pole of the magnet, denoted by N. The other pole is the south pole,
denoted by 5, as shown in Figure 4.1. Following are some important,terms
related to magnetic field.

4.2.1

Magnetic Flux
Magnetic flux is the group of magnetic field lines emitted outward from the
north pole of a magnet, as shown in Figure 4.7.It is measured in Weber and
is denoted as @.

BIOT.SAVART'S LAW

when electric current flows through a conductor, it produces a magnetic


field. Biot-savart's law gives the magnetic field intensity produced due to
a current element. According to the Biot-savart's law, the magnetic field

MAGNETIC FIELD INTEIIISITY DUE TO VARIOUS CURRENT IilsTRtBUT|ONS

Similar to the different charge distribution discussed in previous chapters,


we can have three types of current density distribution given as:
1. Line current density, 1, given in Ampere,
2. Surface current density, I{, given in Ampbre per meter (A/m), and
3. Volume current density, J, given in Ampere per squared metre (A/m'z)
These current densities are related to each other as

ALTERNATIVE METHOD:

According to Ampere's circuital law, the line integral of magnetic field


intensity .Ef around a closed path is equal to the net current enclosed by the

Since we have to determine the magnetic field intensity at point (4, 2, 3) so
we construct a circular loop around the infinite current element that passes

though the point (4,2,3) as shown in the figure.

Assume the cylindrical tube is of radius a for which we have to determine
the magnetic field intensity at the axis of solenoid. Now we consider a small
ring (small section of solenoid) of the width d,z at adistance z frompoint p
lying on the a:ris of the solenoid as shown in the figure.

The total current flowing in the loop of the ring will be

since magnetic field intensity produced at an-y point p on the axis of the
circular loop carrying current f is defined as

Consider the particle carries a total cha,rge Q.
Since for a moving charge Q in the presence of both electric and
fields, the total force on the charge is given by
F = QIE+ (u x B)l
.E - electric field
where
o - velocity of the cha,rged particle
B --+ magnetic flux density
So initially the magnetic force on the particle will be zero as the
is released at rest (o: 0). Therefore the electric field will accelerate
particle in y-direction and as it picks up speed (consider the velocity
a: kou,,k is very small) a magnetic force develops which will be given by

F:axB
since the magnetic field is in a, direction while the beam has the velocity i
a, direction so the magnetic force will be in o, (au x a") direction.

Therefore the magnetic force will pull the charged particle around to th
right and as the magnetic force will be always perpendicula,r to both th

i.e. the force on the moving charged particle will be in upward direction.
and as the particle is also deflected in upward direction with the applied
force so it gives the conclusion that the particle will be positively charged.

Option (A) is correct.


Electric field intensity experienced by the moving conductor ob in the
presence of magnetic field B is given as

So, electric field will be directed from b to o as determined by right hand

Consider a magnet bar being dropped inside a pipe as shown in figure.

Pipe
Falling
magnet

Ring of pipe

I in the magnet flows counter clockwise (viewed from


above) as shown in figure. So near the ends of pipe, it's field points upward.
A ring of pipe below the magnet experiences an increasing upward flux as
the magnet approaches and hence by Lenz's law a current will be induced in
it such as to produce downward flux.
Thus, 4,a must flow clockwise which is opposite to the current in the magnet.
Suppose the current

lt-

Since opposite currents repel each other so, the force exerted on the magnet

due to the induced current is directed upward. Meanwhile a ring above the
magnet experiences a decreasing upward flux; so itts induced current parallel
to 1 and it attracts magnet upward. And flux through the rings next to the
magnet bar is constant. So no current is induced in them.
Thus, for all we can say that the force exerted by the eddy current (induced
current according to Lenz's law) on the magnet is in upward direction which
causes the delay to reach the bottom. Whereas in the cases of unmagnetized
bar no induced current is formed. So it reaches in fraction of time.

Thus, A and R both true and R is correct explanation of A.

The direction of the magnetic field produced by the current is determined

Now, in figure (1), p directed upwa.rded increases with time
where as the
field produced by cufrent -I is downward so, it obey's the Lenz's
law.
In figure (2), B directed upward is decreasing with time whereas the field
produced by current 1 is downwards (i.e. additive to the
change in B) so, it
doesn't obey Lenz,s law.
In figure (3), B directed upward is decreasing with time where as current
-I
produces the field directed upwards (i.e. opposite to the

also obeys Lenz's law.

In figure (4), B directed upwa,rd is increasing with time whereas current

ELECTROTAGNETIC WAVES
In general, wave is a carrier of energy or information and is a function of time
as well as space. As far as we are concerned, a wave means Electromagnetic

wave (or simply EM wave). some examples of EM waves are radio, radar
bearns and TV signals. Maxwell predicated the existence of EM waves
and
established it through his weil-known Maxwell's equations.

where o is the attenuation constant, and p is the phase constant as describd


below.

1.

Attenuation constant (o): The real part of the propagation constad


is defined as the attenuation constant (a). The attenuation constax
defines the rate at which the fields of the wave are attenuated as th
wave propagates. Its unit is Neper per metre.

2.

Phase constant (B): The imaginary part of the propagation constant i


, defined as the phase consta"tt (B). The phase constanf,defines the rat
at which the phase changes as the wave propagates. Its unit is radia
per metre.

UNIFORM PLANE WAVES

The uniform plane wave has two important words in it; uniform and planr
L. Plane: The term plane means that the electric and magnetic field vecto:
both lie in a plane and all such planes are parallel. In addition, tl
phase of the wave is constant over a plane.

2.

Uniform: The word uniform means, the amplitude and phase of vecto
E and -E[ are constant over the planes.

In Figure 7.1, we have chosen the eiectric field to be in r-direction and


the magnetic {ield will turn out to be orthogonal to r-direction and so is
directed in the g-direction. The field vectors ,E and .E[ are in the r-g plane
flane waves. The word uniform, also means that the field vectorr

7.4.1

Consider a uniform plane wave travelling in a medium where the conductivity

characteristics of the plane waves in the medium.

REFLECTTON

REFRACTION OF UNIFORM PLAI{E WAVES

when a plane wave propagating in a homogeneous medium encounters


interface with a different medium, a portion of the wave is reflected from
interface while the remainder of the wave is transmitted. Depending
the manner in which the uniform plane wave is incident on the boundar.rl
two types of incidences may occur:
1. Normal Incidence: When a uniform plane wave is incident normally to
the boundary between the media, it is known as normal incidence.
2. Oblique incidence: When a uniform plane wave is incident obliquel-v
(making an angle other than g0") to the boundary between the two
media, it is known as oblique incidence.
In the following section, we will consider these two types of incidences ai
various media interfaces.

TRANSMISSION LINE PARAMETERS


The equivalent circuit of a transmission line is a distributed network. This
consists of cascaded sections and each section consists of a series resistance
-R, series inductance tr, shunt capacitance C, and shunt conductance G. One
section of the equivalent circuit is shown in Figure 8.1. Let us study the
primarv and secondary constants for transmissipn line.

lil'arisvcti,e electric (TE) and tansverse magnetic (TM) modes are


cornmonly referred to as wavguide modes since' they are the only

(TEef) modes cannot exist on

3. TE and TM modes are eharacterized by a cut-off frequency below
which they do not proPagate.
4, TE and Th{ modes can exist on transrnission lines but are generaly
undesirable (higher order modes).
'TEM

are the d.ominant modes on transmission lines.
6. Tlansmission lines are typically operated'at frequencies below the
cut-off frequencies of TE and TM modes so that only the TEM mode
exists.

PARALLEL PLATE WAVEGUIDE

The paraliel plate waveguide is probably the sirnplest type of guide that
can support TM and TE modes; it carr also support a TEI\I rnode, since
it is forrned frorn two flat plates or strips, as shown in Figure 9.1. The
plates are assumed to be infinite in extent in the r-direction. It is assumed
that the wave propagates in a, direction, and the fields do not vary in the
o" direction. The characteristics of the various modes of propagation are
exa,mined in following sections.

STANDING WAVES IN TRANSMISSION LINE

If the receiving end of a transmission line is not perfectly matched, there


will be reflection of the voltage and current. As a consequence of reflection,
a stand,i,ng waue r;rray be visualised as an interference between the incident
signal I/6+ at a given frequency, travelling in the forward direction, and the
reflected signal tr/6 , at the same frequency, travelling in the reverse direction.

As shown in the smith chart in previous question normalized load impedance
is located at point P. So, for determining the input impedance at a distance

(1) First we draw a SWR circle (circle centered at origin with radius OP)

(2) For finding input

distance of 0.35,\ on WTG scale (wave length toward generator) along
the SWR circle.

For determining the shortest length of the transmission line for which the
input impedance appears to be purely resistive, we follow the steps as
explained below :
(1) First we determine the WTG reading of the point denoting the normalized
load impedance on the smith chart. Flom the above question, we have
the reading of point P as 0.144,\ on WTG circle.
(2) Since, the resistive load lies on the real axis of reflection coefficient (
l-,-axis). So, we move along the SWR circle to reach the ,[-axis and
denote the points as A and B.
(4) Since, point B is nearer to the point P so, it will give the shortest
length of the transmission line for which the input impedance appears
to be purely resistive.
(5) Now, we have the reading of point B on WTG scale as 0.2b^. So, the
shortest length for the input impedance to be purely resistive is given
as the difference between the readings at point B and P. i.e.,

The voltage maximum occurs at the point where the SwR circle intersects
the positive f axis on smith chart. The SWR circle of the load impedance
intersects the positive 4 axis at point B as shown in the Smith chart. So,
the point B gives the position of first voltage maxima.
As calculated in previous question the distance between point B and point
,4 on the WTG scale is 0.106,\. Therefore, the l"t voltage maximum occurs
at a distance of 0.106) from load.

MODES OF WAVE PROPAGATION

"

For time-harmonic fields, assuming wave propagation along the


z-axis, the
electric and magnetic fields can be written as

E(r,y,z) :lE,(r,a)+

E"a")eip"
H(r,y,z):lH,(r,a)* H"a,fe-i,"

where the first terms Er(r,y) and - H1(r,y) represent the transverse
components and the second tetms E" and H" represant the
longitudinal
components of the electric and magnetic fields, respectively.
Colsidering
the expression of field components, we define the foliowing modes
of wave
propagation:

Thansverse Electromagnetic

(TEM) Modes.
In TEM mode, the electric and magnetic fields are transvrse
to the direction
of wave propagation with no longitudinal components, i.e.

E,: H,-0

Tl'ansverse Electric (TE) Modes

In TE mode, the electric field is transverse to.the direction of propagation

(no longitudinal erectric field component), while the


magnetic fierd has both
transverse and, longitudinal components, i.e.

RECTANGULAR WAVEGUIDE
Rectangular waveguide is one of the earliest type of transmission lines used to
transport microwave signals and are still used today for many applications.
The hollow rectangular waveguide can propagate TM and TE modes, but
no TEM waves, since only one conductor is present. Figure 9.2 shows a
rectangular waveguide with its cross-section of sides o and b.

A wave mode propagates in a waveguide only if it's frequency is greater than

Statement L
Suppose on the contrary the TEM mode existed. In this case the magnetic
field must lie solely in the transverse rgr-plane. The magnetic field lines must
form closed paths in this transverse plane, since V . H - 0. FYom Ampere's
law, the integral of this transverse magnetic field around these closed paths
must yield the axial conduction or displacement current. B:ut E": 0 for the
TEM mode so, no axial displacement current can exist. Also, since there
is no center conductor so, no axial conduction current can exist. Therefore
statement 1 is correct.
Statement 2
The dominant mode is the mode that has lowest cutoff frequency. Now, f,,-,
is clearly minimized when either Tn or n is zero. Since, TMsl or TM16 mode

An infinitesirnally smail current element is called a Hertz'ian di,pole. Hertzian


dipole is not of much practical use, but it is the basic building block of any
kind of antennas. Consider the Hertzian dipole shovin in Figure 10.7, located
at origin. The infinitesimal time-varying current flowing in o,-direction in
the Hertzian dipole is

ARRAY

An antenna array is a group of radiating elements arranged to

produce

particular radiation characteristics. Here, we first consider the simplest case


of two-element array and then generalize it to uniform linear arrays made
up of many identical elements. ,

\\

10.10.1 Twoelements Arrays


The simplest array is one consisting of two identical radiating elements
spaced a distance apa,rt, as shown in Figure 10.14. Let us assume that the
far-zone electric field of the individual antennas be in the d-direction a^nd
that the antennas are lined along the r-axis. The antennas are excited with
a current of the same magnitude, but the phase in antenna 1 leads that in
antenna 0 by an angle d.

the "resultant pattern" is the. product of the unit pattern and the group

This is known as pattern multiplication, and it can be used to sketch, almost
by inspection, the pattern bf an array,
