AI Thread Summary
In electromagnetic field theory, when the parameter b is significantly greater than a (b >> a), the electric field components Ex and Hy become zero, leaving only Ey, Hx, and Hz present. This phenomenon is explained through boundary conditions in waveguide theory, particularly in rectangular waveguides. The Fourier solution to the 2D wave equation indicates that Ex and Hy are proportional to sin(1/b), which approaches zero as b increases. The discussion also highlights that specific boundary conditions, such as those involving perfect magnetic conductors, can result in certain field components being zero. Understanding these relationships is crucial for solving related exercise problems in electromagnetic theory.

if b >> a ,Ex and Hy are zero .why ?

hello friends...in schaum series book on Electromagnetic field theory , its shown that if b>> a then Ex and Hy are zero , and only components present will be Ey , Hx, Hz...
can you please tell me the reson for that...what happened when we made b >> a...
( i know that if a > b the all five components mentioned above r present...)

i have uploaded image of rectangular waveguide...

It is just the way it is.
 


Do you really mean b >> a and not like in your picture a>b like for a usual rectangular waveguide? If you really mean b>>a, you might find the solutions with a parallel plate waveguide. Furthermore since I am curious, could you supply a amazon.com link to the book you use?

I believe that in the Fourier solution to the 2D wave equation with the rectangular waveguide boundary conditions, Ex and Hy are proportional to sin(1/b), and if b is very large then this would make the components go to zero. I'm not sure if that's what the problem is stating though.

Hmm, I thought in rectangular waveguide problems, depending on type of boundary conditions used, the relevant tangential components to sides are 0. That might be why. For example, if a perfect magnetic conductor(pmc) boundary was employed at the left wall of the waveguide above, then Hy component at that wall would be 0 due to pmc condition and so on. Similar situation with the pec condition.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
