Magnetic and nonmagnetic medium on wave propagation

AI Thread Summary
Magnetic and nonmagnetic media differ in their constitutive relations, which define the interactions between electric field (E), electric displacement (D), magnetic field (B), and magnetic field intensity (H). These properties significantly influence wave propagation, as indicated by the equation U(R,t)=f(t-R√μ€), where the velocity of wave propagation is determined by the medium's characteristics. In magnetic media, the presence of magnetic permeability (μ) alters the wave speed compared to nonmagnetic media. Understanding these differences is crucial for applications in electromagnetism and wave mechanics. The impact of medium properties on wave behavior is essential for advancements in electrical engineering and related fields.

What is the difference of a magnetic and nonmagnetic medium? And how does it affect wave propagation on these mediums?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Material (or medium) properties determine the relations between E and D and between B and H. These relations are called the constitutive relations of a medium.

U(R,t)=f(t-R√μ€)

Above equation represents a waves traveling in the positive R direction with a veloclty
1/√μ€, where is a characteristic of the medium.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
