AI Thread Summary
Anomalous absorption in electromagnetism (E&M) refers to unexpected energy absorption in materials, explained by the complex permittivity's real and imaginary components. The real part indicates the material's ability to store energy, while the imaginary part relates to energy loss, highlighting the difference between normal and anomalous absorption. The term "electric displacement" is historically derived, referring to the field that accounts for the effects of free and bound charges in a dielectric material. Understanding these concepts requires critical thinking rather than rote memorization, emphasizing the importance of grasping the underlying physics. Engaging with these principles can enhance comprehension of E&M phenomena.

dear all

i need the help in understanding the following points:

1- In E&M, what is happening (physically) at anomalous absorption?, and how is this explained by the form of permittivity (real and imaginary parts)?
2- why did the "electric displacement" call that way?

Welcome to PF;
To understand something, instead of just memorizing the "correct" answer, you have to think your way through it - we cannot just tell you.
So:

1. what would absorption normally be when it is not anomalous? what do the real and imaginary parts of permittivity signify?
2. when the electric displacement field is useful, what is being displaced?
(Basically the name is an accident of history that we seem to be stuck with.)

If you do not know the answers, try looking them up.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
