EM Theory ConceptThe fundamental concept of em theory is that a
current at a point in space is capable of inducing potential and hence currents at another point far away.

Introduction to EM Theory
• The existence of propagating em waves can be predicted as a direct consequence of Maxwell’s equations.
• These equations satisfy the relationship between the vector electric field, E and vector magnetic field, H in time and space in a given medium.
• Both E and H are vector functions of space and time; i.e. E (x,y,z;t), H (x,y,z;t.)
O. Kilic EE542
5
What is an Electromagnetic Field?
• The electric and magnetic fields were originally introduced by means of the force equation.
• In Coulomb’s experiments forces acting between localized charges were observed.
• There, it is found useful to introduce E as the force per unit charge.
• Similarly, in Ampere’s experiments the mutual forces of current carrying loops were studied.
• B is defined as force per unit current.
O. Kilic EE542
6
Why not use just force?
• Although E and B appear as convenient replacements for forces produced by distributions of charge and current, they have other important aspects.
• First, their introduction decouples conceptually the sources from the test bodies experiencing em forces.
• If the fields E and B from two source distributions are the same at a given point in space, the force acting on a test charge will be the same regardless of how different the sources are.
• This gives E and B meaning in their own right.• Also, em fields can exist in regions of space where there
are no sources.
O. Kilic EE542
7
Maxwell’s Equations
• Maxwell's equations give expressions for electric and magnetic fields everywhere in space provided that all charge and current sources are defined.
• They represent one of the most elegant and concise ways to state the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism.
• These set of equations describe the relationship between the electric and magnetic fields and sources in the medium.
• Because of their concise statement, they embody a high level of mathematical sophistication.

Maxwell’s Equations – Physical Laws
• Faraday’s Law Changes in magnetic field induce voltage.
• Ampere’s Law Allows us to write all the possible ways that electric currents can make magnetic field. Magnetic field in space around an electric current is proportional to the current source.
• Gauss’ Law for Electricity The electric flux out of any closed surface is proportional to the total charge enclosed within the surface.
• Gauss’ Law for Magnetism The net magnetic flux out of any closed surface is zero.

To summarize
• We have shown that Maxwell’s equations describe how electromagnetic energy travels in a medium
• The E and H fields satisfy the “wave equation”.
• The solution to the wave equation can be in various forms, depending on the medium characteristics

49
The Plane Wave Concept
• Plane waves constitute a special set of E and H field components such that E and H are always perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.
• A special case of plane waves is uniform plane waves where E and H have a constant magnitude in the plane that contains them.

Polarization• The alignment of the electric field vector of
a plane wave relative to the direction of propagation defines the polarization.
• Three types:– Linear– Circular– Elliptical (most general form)
Polarization is the locus of the tip of the electric field at a given point as a function of time.

Coherence and Polarization
• In the definition of linear, circular and elliptical polarization, we considered only completely polarized plane waves.
• Natural radiation received by an anatenna operating at a frequency w, with a narrow bandwidth, w would be quasi-monochromatic plane wave.
• The received signal can be treated as a single frequency plane wave whose amplitude and phase are slowly varying functions of time.

Unpolarized Waves
• An em wave can be unpolarized. For example sunlight or lamp light. Other terminology: randomly polarized, incoherent. A wave containing many linearly polarized waves with the polarization randomly oriented in space.
• A wave can also be partially polarized; such as sky light or light reflected from the surface of an object; i.e. glare.

Poynting Vector
• As we have seen, a uniform plane wave carries em power.
• The power density is obtained from the Poynting vector.
• The direction of the Poynting vector is in the direction of wave propagation.
