Wave equation
1. Differentiate dD/dt ? d2D/dt2 2. Differentiate
dD/dx ? d2D/dx2 3. Find the speed from

Causes and effects of E

• Gauss E fields diverge from charges

• Lorentz force E fields can move charges
• F q E

5
Causes and effects of B

• Ampere B fields curl around currents

• Lorentz force B fields can bend moving charges
• F q v x B IL x B

6
Changing fields create new fields!

• Faraday Changing magnetic flux induces
  circulating electric field
• Guess what a changing E field induces?

7
Changing E field creates B field!

• Current piles charge onto capacitor
• Magnetic field doesnt stop
• Changing electric flux
• displacement current
• magnetic circulation

Partial Maxwells equations

Maxwell eqns ? electromagnetic waves

• Consider waves traveling in the x direction with
  frequency f w/2p
• and wavelength l 2p/k
• E(x,t)E0 sin (kx-wt) and
• B(x,t)B0 sin (kx-wt)
• Do these solve Faraday and Amperes laws?

Speed of Maxwellian waves?
Faraday -wB0 k E0 Ampere
m0e0wE0kB0 Eliminate B0/E0 and solve for vw/k
e0 8.85 x 10-12 C2 N/m2
m0 4 p x 10-7 Tm/A

Maxwell equations ? Light
E(x,t)E0 sin (kx-wt) and B(x,t)B0 sin
(kx-wt) solve Faradays and Amperes
laws. Electromagnetic waves in vacuum have speed

Full Maxwell equations
Notice the asymmetries how can we make these
symmetric by adding a magnetic monopole?
