Electromagnetic Definition and 1000 Threads

Here a little document I'd like to have comments on it Electromagnetic Field from another perspective Analogy between the Electromagnetic Field and a Field Defined by the Constant k Definition of the Field: We have defined a scalar field A and...

What will happen with the electromagnetic wave reaching an antenna when this antenna is not resonant on the frequency of the wave: will it reflect from antenna or pass through it? Thank you

Hi, I want to build a faraday cage and use a metal box for it (like a metal cabinet, a big tin box, a metal basket or even an old safe or something like that. As these objects have small holes or gaps, some people say you need to put conductive tape on them to close these gaps. That is not very...

I was watching the first Star Wars, the scene with "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi ...", and I thought: Wouldn't it be possible to create a 3D holograph by exciting the nitrogen molecules in the air to shine blue, similar to a fluorescent lamp? The idea is to focus multiple sources of electromagnetic...

Here is the solution: From vector identity, $$\nabla (\vec A \times \vec B) = \vec B \cdot \nabla \times A - \vec A \cdot \nabla \times \vec B $$ If ##\vec B = 0##, then $$\nabla \vec S = \nabla \frac{\vec E \times \vec B}{\mu_0} = \frac{1}{\mu_0} (\nabla \times E \cdot \vec B - \cdot E \cdot...

The (covariant) product of the EM Field Tensor with itself is basically the Lagrangian Density for the EM Field. It leads directly to Maxwell's Equations. If there are no charges or currents present, Maxwell's Equations lead directly to an equation of motion for an EM Plane Wave. Now all EM...

I want to know that when a charged particle accelerates then the electromagnetic wave so produced will loose it's strength or can say fades with distance or not ? If yes then what happens to its frequency and also tell me if electromagnetic waves fades away with increasing distance from the...

I don't have a strong technical background in this, so need some help. I'm currently investigating pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) devices to rehab injuries, and trying to figure out the best applicator and placement. The choices available are coils, mats, butterfly coils, paddles, and a...

I know the Lorentz matrix for a boost along any of the Cartesian axes. But, since all the components of the magnetic field has changed in the frames, the boost is along an arbitrary direction, rather tahn a particular axis. How do I solve the problem in this case?

Hi everyone. I hope you are doing great . I recently saw something interesting and had a question. I use fluorescent lamps in my room, and when I use the remote fan, it works at a shorter distance, but when the lamps are off, the remote works at a longer distance. What do fluorescent lamps do...

In (23), are grad and div some kind of scalar operators comparing to ##\nabla## and ##\nabla\times##? because tbh I dont know how ##\text{curl}(\mu^{-1}\text{curl}\textbf{A})## turns into ##\text{div}\mu^{-1}\text{grad}A_z## even given ##A=(0,0,A_z)^T##. tbh I don't really get it. First, Is...

We learn that the dimensions of spin coincide with the dimensions of other magnitudes, for example action and angular momentum. They also coincide with a purely electromagnetic dimensional form. Is the next. $$\left[spin\right] = \left[ electric \ resistance \right] \ \left[electric \ charge...

Hi! I am dealing with the propagation of electromagnetic emissions through the atmosphere. To quickly outline: Imagine some charge distribution flying at relativistic speeds and inducing a four-potential A. We define some retarded time at which the charges are at some positions, and calculate...

I have noticed that every time my microwave is ON, my Wi-Fi connection freezes. It comes back as soon as the microwave stops. Is it normal?

M.S in electrical engineering, Has a publication on IEEE titled “New Concept About Common Mode Noise”. I have extensive knowledge in electrical engineering, including quantum.

I was trying to understand why some compounds appear colorless (transparent) and tried to give an explanation. I take benzene as an example: it is a chromophore group in which there is π-conjugation, so a certain energy gap is generated between HOMO and LUMO. This energy gap is such that in...

Sometimes I cannot imagine light as the popular Maxwell's blue and red electric and magnetic wave https://simply.science/images/content/physics/Electromagnetism/em_waves/emv.jpg but I found the image below to be the more accurate representation of how light actually looks like as waves...

TL;DR Summary: Book: Neoclassical Theory of Electromagnetic Interactions - A Single Theory for Macroscopic and Microscopic Scales I've found the book of Babin & Figotin: Neoclassical Theory of Electromagnetic Interactions - A Single Theory for Macroscopic and Microscopic Scales. I like their...

Hi all, Looking to measure some magnetic waves being generated at an electric coil. Freq is between 0-20kHz and magnitude is pretty small <1T. Any have suggestions for the best tool to measure and log data of this magnetic waveform? Googling around, I found meters like this: [Possible spam...

I came across this video where Dr. Tyson talks about Nikola Tesla. Neil Tyson on Tesla. From 4:47 onwards, he says "We now send energy through wires", and talks about how bizarre it would be to walk around/stand in the way of such energy flow. Further he says the power transmission lines are...

Can anyone explain to me why grounded means zero electric potential. I confuse what's the relation between infinite ground conducting plane and its electric potential (the method of images). I have a several question: 1. Why the conductor plane must be infinite, while in reality there's no...

There is a short movable section of cylinder shape in a O-ring magnetic core with DC coil, of course, there are 2 air gaps between the movable section and stator main section. My question: if rotate the movable section, is there a bunch of twisted magnetic lines? The rotation does not change the...

Hello All: read a paper related to electromagnetic force and its applications in acceleration of charges particles , some thing came up in it , they drive a force applied on the particle called Faraday force = [1/2B]* [dB/dt]*m*v B magnetic field , m mass of the particle , v the velocity of...

Following from Wikipedia, the covariant formulation of electromagnetic field involves postulating an electromagnetic field tensor(Faraday 2-form) F such that F=dA where A is a 1-form, which makes F an exact differential form. However, is there any specific reason for expecting F to be exact...

The Maxwell wavefunction of a photon is given in [here] as follows: Because the curl operation mixes 3 different components, this wavefunction only works for a minimum of 3 space dimensions, with each grid point having 6 component numbers ##{E^1, E^2, E^3, B^1, B^2, B^3}##, and with the...

When you write out the equations of motion for a system of two isolated charges, you can add both of the equations and get the increase in the particles linear momentum on one side. On the other side, you get the sum of all the forces between the particles. I understand that this sum of forces...

Dear friends, I will be grateful if anyone can help me I study electromagnetic scattering by rough surfaces for a certain case. Each rough surface can be specified with the statistical parameters sigma (σ) and correlation length (lc). while writing my manuscript I drew a schematic...

Since I'm computer engineer and don't have much experiences with electromagnetism, I'd like to know if it is possible to make an electromagnetic signal (250khz - 500khz) and send it to a point (with an error of maximum 1cm) in a room. If yes which devices do I need to setup my experiment?

Obviously at point charges, but where along boundaries? Would they theoretically occur in superconductors since they can carry infinite current (J -> infinity)?

Hi, I completely failed this homework. I mean I think I know what happen, but I don't know how to show it mathematically. The energy lost by the wave is used to oscillate the electrons inside the conductor. Thus, the electrons acts like some damped driven oscillators. I guess I have to find...

I've been thinking about electromagnetic shielding lately. Of course, you have your good, old-fashioned Faraday cage. But after staring at Maxwell's equations awhile, I'm thinking: We're after a static E field, right? So if we set ## \frac{\partial \textbf{E}}{\partial t}=0## in Ampere's...

Is the doppler effect on electromagnetic waves receive by cell phone in fast car and so somebody talk with cell phone in fast car view this effect

The given question from Electromagnetic Theory (which is based on Dielectric Boundary Conditions) is as follows: Interface b/w two dielectric medium has a surface charge density (suppose xyz C / (m ^ 2) ). Using boundary condition find field in 1 (relative permittivity =xyz) if field in 2...

Can I say, by any means, that a "brain wave" is, in fact, a wave of some kind?

C = sqrt(E/M)...this would suppose the ratio of the amount of energy vs. the amount of mass in the universe. If not, why not. If there is no mass, just energy, or much less mass at the moment of the hypothetical Big Bang, then, there C would be significantly higher, thus explaining cosmic...

I do understand that gravitational the electromagnetic force between two electrons or protons is very large compared to the gravitational force between them. I can see this by looking at the equation of gravitational force (##F= \frac {Gm_1m_2} {r^2}##) and the equation of electrical force given...

The energy of an electromagnetic wave does not depend on the frequency of the wave, only on the amplitude. Then why is light with higher frequency more energetic than light with lower frequency?

good evening gentlemen, for some months I have a problem and maybe it depends on the wind turbines. I live in the countryside and there is a wind farm near my house, and when I am out gardening, when there is strong wind and the blades are spinning fast, I feel strange, as if I fall into a...

Hello,everyone! Recently i am doing an experiments about electromagnetic induced transparency in 85rubidum gas. I have two light source,which use the polarization spectrom frequncy stablizaiton technology to make them stable.One is used for probing light,and the other one is used for coupling...

Hello ! I have a doubt as to how is this case, if it occurs, of the constructive interference of two harmonic electromagnetic waves but of different wavelengths or frequencies between them. That is, if between the two electromagnetic waves a new and unique electromagnetic wave is created and...

I am a little confused with the Poynting theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynting%27s_theorem . When we use this equation, the energy density that enters in $$\partial u / \partial t$$ is the one due only to the fields generated by charges/source itself? That is, if we have a magnetic...

I know how to calculate the standard Landau pole result at one loop suggesting that a quantum field theoretic treatment of the electromagnetic force in the continuum is trivial. I am wondering does this result continue to hold at higher loops, nonperturbatively or when electromagnetism is...

How can we (as nicely as possible... i.e. not via characteristic polynomial) calculate the eigenvalues of ##F_{ab} = \partial_a A_b -\partial_b A_a## and ##T_{ab} = F_{ac} {F_b}^c- (1/4) \eta_{ab} F^2 ## and what is their physical meaning?

a) ##\rho = \frac{I}{c} = \frac{F}{A}## for a perfect absorber ##F = ma## where ##a = \frac{c}{t}## ##\frac{I}{c} = \frac{mc}{tA}## ##I = \frac{I^2 tA}{mc^2} = \frac{P}{A}## ##P = \frac{I^2 tA^2}{mc^2} = \frac{W}{t}## ##W = \frac{I^2 t^2A^2}{mc^2}## I am unsure what A is. I think it should be...

Hello ! As we know by definition that: "Constructive interference occurs when the phase difference between the waves is an even multiple of π (180°), whereas destructive interference occurs when the difference is an odd multiple of π." But my question is in the case of destructive...

hello, 1. according to Robert Wald, General Relativity, equation (4.2.22) the magnetic field as measured by an observer with 4-velocity ## v^b ## is given by ## B_a = - \frac {1}{2} {ϵ_{ab}}^{cd} F_{cd} v^b ## where ## {ϵ_{ab}}^{cd}##, the author says, is the totally antisymmetric tensor (for...

in a nutshell what are the differences between gravitational and electromagnetic waves?

If the question had mentioned ##\overrightarrow{E}## instead of ##E_\bot##, then we could have used ##\overrightarrow{B}=\dfrac{1}{v}\widehat{k}\times \overrightarrow{E}## to get the direction of the magnetic field. But the question had only mentioned ##E_\bot##. To my understanding, knowing...

Hello everybody, I was visualizing the electric field radiation pattern of an antenna in a 3D EM simulation software (CST), and to see it with my eyes made me realize something I probably heard during my studies but forgot. What is the phenomenon behind what you can see below, which is the...
