Hertzian dipole generating EM Waves.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields from the vector potential (A) and scalar potential (phi) of a Hertzian dipole. The original poster notes that only the theta component of the E field seems to exist, involving parameters like omega and I0. A participant suggests that taking the curl of the vector potential should yield the magnetic field, indicating a straightforward approach to the problem. A resource link is provided for further clarification on the topic. The conversation emphasizes the need for understanding the relationship between potentials and electromagnetic fields in dipole radiation.

Hi, in my notes for the Hertzian Dipole I have a derivation of the vector potential A, and the scalar potential (phi). However, I'm missing the derivation of the E and B fields from these potentials. It seems that only the theta component of the E field exists, and I have ... well, I can't write it out because I don't how to use the webcode to equations... but it has omega, I0 (current), sin(theta), and another sine term, but with an argument that is omega x the retarded time.

Anyone got any clues? Or even an idea of what I'm trying to say? (I realize the question is a little sketchy)

hi, polystethylene:
Here is something you need: please read the weblink first; if you still have problem, please contact me! :smile:http://www.ece.rutgers.edu/~orfanidi/ewa/ch15.pdf"

If you've got the vector potential, take the curl to get the magnetic field? I don't see where the problem is.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
