Finding Electric & Magnetic Field Energy Densities in a Dielectric Medium

AI Thread Summary
To find the power dissipated per unit volume, electric field energy density, and magnetic field energy density in a perfect dielectric medium, standard equations from electromagnetic theory can be utilized. The electric field E and magnetic field H are given, allowing for the calculation of the power flow density vector using the Poynting vector formula P = E x H. The specific equations for energy densities can be found in basic electromagnetic wave literature or online resources. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity on these equations to complete the assignment due today. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

If current densities are given in a perfect dielectric medium having \epsilon , \mu
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
E=J_{so}cos(\omega t-\beta z) \vec{i}
and
H=\frac{J_{so}}{2}cos(\omega t-\beta z) \vec{j}

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
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
