If current densities are given in a perfect dielectric medium having [tex]\epsilon , \mu[/tex]
I have to find the power dissipated per unit volume, the electric field energy density, and the magnetic field energy density everywhere.
Can I get help with equations?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
These are standard equations (outcomes of electromagnetic theory) and you should be able to find them even in a basic treatment of electromagnetic waves (for example, in books like Krane, Sears/Zemansky, etc). You could even search on google.com. What is your specific trouble with them?
 
Given
[tex]E=J_{so}cos(\omega t-\beta z) \vec{i}[/tex]
and
[tex]H=\frac{J_{so}}{2}cos(\omega t-\beta z) \vec{j}[/tex]

I have to find power flow density vector(this i know is a P=ExH pointing vector the power)
the dissipated per unit volume, the electric field energy density, and the magnetic field energy density everywhere.
 
Any help with this problem. Its due today. Thanks
