Maxwell's equations on the boundary between non-conductor and conductor
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Hi, this is the first time I post a thread in this forum. I am not sure if I could post this question here since it is not a homework problem. I have trouble understanding two boundary condition between nonconductor and conductor from Maxwell's equations in dynamic case. First, n X (H1 - H2) = I (media 1 is non-conductor, media 2 is conductor) I know that when the conductor is perfect, there is discontinuity on the boundary since H2=0. So there is surface current K. when the conductor is regular conductor, I = J . da = 0 because we take the limit as da -> 0 when we get the equation n X (H1 - H2) = I. Is this reasoning right? And when the conductor is superconductor, is H continuous between the boundary? Is there surface current K? Second, (D1 - D2) . n = σ , When the conductor is perfect, there is discontinuity on the boundary since D2=0. What happen when the conductor is regular conductor? Does D1 = D2 ? Is there and surface charge? And What happen if it is superconductor? Does D1 = D2 or D2=0, D1=σ ? Thanks. 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution |
