Greetings all, Quick question. I know that all 4 Maxwell's equations are said to be first-order, coupled PDEs, where each equation has an unknown field. I see that with Faraday's and Ampere's law, because, E and H appear in each of those equations. But Gauss' laws, I'm not seeing that...

Great - thanks so much for your help! VV5

DuckAmuck, First, thanks for the reply. Question for you. While the ratio you provided would work, and given that -j * -j = well, j^2, = -1 and the equation would work, but quick question. The ratio you provided - physically what would that mean? Thanks again! VV5

Greetings all, Trying to resolve a discrepancy with vector and scalar potentials with Maxwell's Equations, specifically Ampere's law. In my E&M textbook (Balanis, 1989, Eqn 6-17), Ampere's law with a magnetic vector potential and electric scalar potential can be expressed as E=...

Greetings all, This question can cover many sub-forums here, but I'll put it in General Math since I believe it deals with superposition. Now, I am studying a layered-earth model for programming purposes, and what I mean by that is, for example, we say air is one layer, grass is another...

Thanks for your help!

Why do I have it reversed? Good question - not too sure! That' why I threw the question on the boards. So is the discretization I stated correct? I'm still a bit confused. Thanks!

Mathman, Sorry about the confusion - trust me I'm new at discretization too. But first, thanks for the response. Basically, I'm seeing if there's a way to represent these integrals in summation form via the Phi equations. What these "Phi" equations represent is the relative responses...

Greetings all, I looked this up in the forums but there didn't seem to be a response. I have the following equation: ##i\sum\limits_{n = 1}^N {{\sigma _n}} \left[ {\int\limits_{{\zeta _{n - 1}}}^\infty {\phi \left( \zeta \right)d\zeta - \int\limits_{{\zeta _{n}}}^\infty...

Thanks to both!

Greetings all, I know that Faraday's and Ampere's law are related by M.E., but can I say the following? By Faraday’s Law, a time varying magnetic field induces an electromotive force, which produces an electric current density in a media. Up until EMF, that's Faraday's, but is the rest of...

Thanks, that cleared it up! VV5

Greetings all and new to the forum here. It's been many years and I've forgotten how to do it, and it should be a basic question, but assuming we have an equation Ex=E_0*cos(wt-kz), how do we translate to sine? I've seen it written sin(kz-wt) or sin(wt-kz), but I've just plainly forgotten how...
