`axwell' s Equations and
`Electromagnetic Waves
`
`bout 1860, the great Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell found that the
`erimental laws of electricity and magnetism-the laws of Coulomb,
`uss, Biot-Savart, Ampere, and Faraday, which we have studied in Chap-
`18 through 28-could be summarized in a concise mathematical form
`w known as Maxwell's equations. One of the laws, Ampere's law, con(cid:173)

`Chapter 29 Maxwell's Equations and Electromagnetic Waves
`
`magnetic waves are caused by accelerating charges, for example, the charge
`in an alternating current in an antenna. They were first produced in th s
`laboratory by _Heinrich _Hertz in 1887. Maxwell showed that the sp eed 0~
`electromagnetic waves m free space should be
`
`1
`c =--
`
`-~
`
`
`where Ea, the permittivity of free space, is the constant appearing in Cou(cid:173)
`lomb's and Gauss's laws and fLo, the permeability of free space, is that in th
`Biot- Savart law and Ampere's law. When the measured value of Eo and th:
`defined value of µ, 0 are put into Equation 29-1, the speed of electromagnetic
`waves is found to be about 3 x 108 m/ s, the same as the measured speed of
`light. Maxwell noted this "coincidence" with great excitement and correctly
`surmised that light itself is an electromagnetic wave.
`In this chapter we begin by showing that Ampere's law as stated in
`Chapter 25 does not hold for discontinuous currents. We then show how
`Maxwell generalized Ampere's law by adding a term now called Maxwell's
`displacement current. After stating Maxwell's equations and relating them
`to the laws of electricity and magnetism that we have already studied, we
`will show that these equations imply that electric and magnetic field vectors
`obey a wave equation that describes waves that propagate through free
`space with speed c = 1/~. Finally, we will illustrate how electromag(cid:173)
`netic waves carry energy and momentum, and discuss the electromagnetic
`spectrum.

`
`29-1 Maxwell's Displacement Current
`
`As we studied in Chapter 25, Ampere's law (Equation 25-15) relates the line
`integral of the magnetic field around some closed curve C to the current that
`passes through any area bounded by that curve:
`
`f B·df = /Lal
`
`for any closed curve C
`
`29-2
`
`c
`We noted that this equation holds only for continuous currents. We can ~ee
`that it does not hold for discontinuous currents by considering the chargmg
`of a capacitor (Figure 29-1). According to Ampere's law, the line integral of
`the magnetic field B around a closed curve equals µ,0 times the total current
`through any surface bounded by the curve. Such a surface need not be a
`plane. Two surfaces bounded by the curve C are indicated in Figure 29-1.
`
`Plates of
`capacitor
`
`Figure 29-1 Two surfaces 51 and 52 bounded by the
`same curve C. The current I passes through surface 51
`but not 52 . Ampere's law, which relates the line inte(cid:173)
`gral of the magnetic field B around the curve C to the
`total current passing through any surface bounded by
`C, is not valid when the current is not continuous, as
`when it stops at the capacitor plate here.

`
`fhe current through surface 51 is I. There is no current through surface 52
`because the charge stops on the capacitor plate. There is thus ambiguity in
`the phrase "the current through any surface. bounded by the curve." For
`continuous currents, we get the same current no matter which surface we
`choose.
`Maxwell recognized this flaw in Ampere's law and showed that the law
`can be generalized to include all situations if the current I in the equation is
`replaced by the sum of the conduction current I and another term lct, called
`Maxwell's displacement current, defined as

`
`where cfae is the flux of the electric field through the same surface bounded
`by the curve C. The generalized form of Ampere's law is then
`
`i B·dC = f.Lo(I + Id) = µ,0I + f.LoEo d!e
`
`29-4
`
`We can understand this generalization by considering Figure 29-1 again.
`Let us call the sum I + Ict the generalized current. According to the argu(cid:173)
`ment just stated, the same generalized current must cross any area bounded
`by the curve C. Thus, there can be no net generalized current into or out of
`the closed volume. If there is a net true current I into the volume, there must
`be an equal net displacement current Ict out of the volume. In the volume in
`the figure, there is a net conduction current I into the volume that increases
`the charge within the volume:
`
`I= dQ
`dt
`
`The flux of the electric field out of the volume is related to the charge by
`Gauss's law
`
`cPe,net = J.. En dA = J__Qinside
`1s
`Eo
`The rate of increase of the charge is thus proportional to the rate of increase
`of the net flux out of the volume:
`
`E d<f>e,net _ dQ _ I
`- dt -
`dt
`0
`d
`
`Thus, the net conduction current into the volume equals the net displace(cid:173)
`ment current out of the volume. The generalized current is always continu(cid:173)
`ous.
`It is interesting to compare Equation 29-4 to Faraday's law (Equation
`26-6)
`
`J..
`c = lc E·dC = -dt

`Where c is the induced emf in a circuit and c/Jrn is the magnetic flux through
`the circuit. According to Faraday's law, a changing magnetic flux produces
`an electric field whose line integral around a curve is proportional to the rate
`.of change of magnetic flux through the curve. Maxwell's modification of
`Ampere's law shows that a changing electric flux produces a magnetic field
`Whose line integral around a curve is proportional to the rate of change of
`he electric flux. We thus have the interesting reciprocal result that a chang-
`ng magnetic field produces an electric field (Faraday's law) and a changing
`lectric field produces a magnetic field (generalized form of Ampere's law.)
`ote that there is no magnetic analogue of a conduction current I.

`Example 29-1
`A parall.el-plat~ capacitor has c~~sely spaced circular plates of radius R.
`Charge is flowing onto the positive plate and off of the negative plate

`the plates.

`where Q = 7TR
`(J' is the magnitude of the total charge on either plate.
`The displacement current is then

`The circular plates in Example 29-1 have a radius of R = 3. 0 cm . Find the

`2.5 A.
`
`We find B from the generalized form of Ampere's law (Equation 29-4).

`Equation 29-6a is Gauss's law; it states that the flux of the electric field
`through any closed surface equals 1/ Eo times the net charge inside the sur(cid:173)
`face . As discussed in Chapter 19, Gauss's law implies that the electric field
`due to a point charge varies inversely as the square of the distance from the
`charge. This law describes how electric-field lines diverge from a positive
`charge and converge on a negative charge. Its experimental basis is Cou(cid:173)
`lomb's law . .
`Equation 29-6b, sometimes called Gauss's law for magnetism, states that
`the flux of the magnetic-field vector B is zero through any closed surface.
`This equation describes the experimental observation that magnetic-field
`lines do not diverge from any point in space or converge on any point; that
`is, it implies that isolated magnetic poles do not exist.
`Equation 29-6c is Faraday's law; it states that the integral of the electric
`field around any closed curve C, which is the emf, equals the (negative) rate
`of change of the magnetic flux through any surface S bounded by the curve.
`(This is not a closed surface, so the magnetic flux through Sis not necessarily
`zero. ) Faraday's law describes how electric-field lines encircle any area
`through which the magnetic flux is changing, and it relates the electric-field
`vector E to the rate of change of the magnetic-field vector B.
`Equation 29-6d, Ampere's law with Maxwell's displacement-current
`modification, states that the line integral of the magnetic field B around any
`closed curve C equals µ, 0 times the current through any surface bounded by
`the curve plus /LoEo times the rate of change of the electric flux through the
`surface. This law describes how the magnetic-field lines encircle an area
`through which a current is passing or the electric flux is changing.

`29-3 The Wave Equation for Electromagnetic

`string obey a partial differential equation called the wave equation:

`1 a2y(x, t)
`ax2

`In this equation, y(x, t) is the wave function, which for string waves is the
`displacement of the string. The derivatives are partial derivatives because

`In this section, we will use Maxwell's equations to derive the wave equa(cid:173)
`tion for electromagnetic waves. We will not consider how such waves arise
`from the motion of charges but merely show that the laws of electricity and
`magnetism imply a wave equation, which in turn implies the existence of
`electric and magnetic fields E and B that propagate through space with the
`velocity of light c. We will consider only free space, in which there are no
`charges or currents. We will assume that the electric and magnetic fields .E

`Ey that depends on x. We can get a similar equation relating the space deriv(cid:173)
`ative of the magnetic field Bz to the time derivative of the electric field Ey by
`applying Equation 29-6d to the curve of sides 6.x and 6.z in the xz plane

`and c = w/k is the velocity of the wave.* Since the electric and magnetic
`fields oscillate in phase with the same frequency, we have the general result
`that the magnitude of the electric field is c times the magnitude of the mag(cid:173)
`netic field for an electromagnetic wave:
`
`E = cB
`
`29-16
`
`Suppose the electric field vector E is confined to the y direction, as ex(cid:173)
`emplified by Equation 29-14. Then £2 = 0, and, according to Equation 29-11,
`dBy/dt = 0. Thus, if E is in the y direction, then the time-varying part (the
`only part we are interested in) of B is in the z direction, as shown in Figure
`29-5. Such a wave is said to be linearly polarized, because if we plot E (or B)
`as a function of time in any plane perpendicular to the x axis, we obtain a
`straight line.
`We see that Maxwell's equations imply wave equations 29-13a and b for
`the electric and magnetic fields; and that if Ey varies harmonically, as in
`Equation 29-14, the magnetic field B2 is in phase with Ey and has an ampli(cid:173)
`tude related to the amplitude of Ey by Equation 29-16. The electric and mag(cid:173)
`netic fields are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the wave
`propagation, as shown in Figure 29-5. In general, the direction of propaga(cid:173)
`tion of an electromagnetic wave is the direction of the cross product E x B.
`
`'In obtaining Equation 29-15 by the integration of the previous equation, an arbitrary constant of
`integration arises. We have omitted this constant magnetic field from Equation 29-15 because it
`plays no part in the electromagnetic waves we are interested in. Note that if any constant
`electric field is added to Equation 29-14, the new electric field still sa tisfies the wave equation.

`Electromagnetic Wave
`In our discussion of the transport of energy by a wave of any kind, we saw
`that the intensity of the wave (the average energy per unit time per unit
`area) is equal to the product of the average energy density (the energy per
`unit volume) and the speed of the wave . The energy density stored in the
`electric field is (Equation 21-17)
`
`'°f/e = !EoE2
`and the energy density stored in the magnetic field is (Equation 26-34)

`electric and magnetic energy densities. Using E = cB, we may express the

`
`We will now show by a simple example that an electromagnetic wave
`carries momentum. In this example, we will calculate the momentum and
`energy absorbed from the wave by a free charged particle. Consider an elec(cid:173)
`tromagnetic wave moving along the x axis with the electric field in the y
`direction and the magnetic field in the z direction that is incident on a sta(cid:173)
`tionary charge on the x axis as shown in Figure 29-6. For simplicity, we will
`neglect the time dependence of the electric and magnetic fields. The particle

`
`Comparing Equations 29-22 and 29-23, we see that the momentum acquired
`by the charge in the direction of the wave is 1/ c times the energy. Although
`our simple calculation was not rigorous, the results are correct. In general,
`
`The magnitude of the momentum carried by an electromagnetic
`wave is 1/ c times the energy carried by the wave:

`
`Momentum and energy in an

`divided by c is thus a force per unit area, which is a pressure. This pressure
`is called radiation pressure Pr:

`Consider an electromagnetic wave incident normally on some surface. If

`surface equals the radiation pressure. If the wave is reflected, the momen(cid:173)
`tum transferred is twice the energy incident on the surface because the wave
`now carries momentum in the opposite direction. The pressure exerted on
`the surface by the wave is then twice the radiat
