EMT UNIT-1 Q.1 What is the gauss’s law Gauss's law may be expressed as: where ΦE is the electric flux through a closed surface S enclosing any volume V, Q is the total charge enclosed within S, and ε0 is theelectric constant. The electric flux ΦE is defined as a surface integral of the electric field: where E is the electric field, dA is a vector representing an infinitesimal element of area,[note 1] and • represents the dot product of two vectors. Since the flux is defined as an integral of the electric field, this expression of Gauss's law is called the integral form. [edit]Applying the integral form Introduction The electric field of a given charge distribution can in principle be calculated using Coulomb's law. The examples discussed in Chapter 23 showed however, that the actual calculations can become quit complicated. Gauss' Law An alternative method to calculate the electric field of a given charge distribution relies on a theorem called Gauss' law. Gauss' law states that " If the volume within an arbitrary closed mathematical surface holds a net electric charge Q, then the electric flux [Phi] though its surface is Q/[epsilon]0 " Gauss' law can be written in the following form: Figure 24.1. Electric flux through surface area A. The electric flux [Phi] through a surface is defined as the product of the area A and the magnitude of the normal component of the electric field E: where [theta] is the angle between the electric field and the normal of the surface (see Figure 24.1). To apply Gauss' law one has to obtain the flux through a closed surface. This flux can be obtained by integrating eq.(24.2) over all the area of the surface. The convention used to define the flux as positive or negative is that the angle [theta] is measured with respect to the perpendicular erected on the outside of the closed surface: field lines leaving the volume make a positive contribution, and field lines entering the volume make a negative contribution. Example Charge is uniformly distributed over the volume of a large slab of plastic of thickness d. The charge density is [rho] C/m3. The mid-plane of the slab is the y-z plane (see Figure 24.3). What is the electric filed at a distance x from the midplane ? Figure Problem As a result of the symmetry of the slab, the direction of the electric field will be along the x-axis (at every point). To calculate the electric field at any given point, we need to consider two separate case: - d/2 < x < d/2 and x > d/2 or x < d/2. Consider surface 1 shown in Figure 24.3. The flux through this surface is equal to the flux through the planes at x = x1 and x = - x1. Symmetry arguments show that The flux [Phi]1 through surface 1 is therefore given by The amount of charge enclosed by surface 1 is given by Applying Gauss' law to eq.(24.7) and eq.(24.8) we obtain or Note: this formula is only correct for - d/2 < x1 < d/2. The flux [Phi]2 through surface 2 is given by The charge enclosed by surface 2 is given by This equation shows that the enclosed charge does not depend on x2. Applying Gauss's law one obtains or Conductors in Electric Fields A large number of electrons in a conductor are free to move. The so called free electrons are the cause of the different behavior of conductors and insulators in an external electric filed. The free electrons in a conductor will move under the influence of the external electric field (in a direction opposite to the direction of the electric field). The movement of the free electrons will produce an excess of electrons (negative charge) on one side of the conductor, leaving a deficit of electrons (positive charge) on the other side. This charge distribution will also produce an electric field and the actual electric field inside the conductor can be found by superposition of the external electric field and the induced electric field, produced by the induced charge distribution. When static equilibrium is reached, the net electric field inside the conductor is exactly zero. This implies that the charge density inside the conductor is zero. If the electric field inside the conductor would not be exactly zero the free electrons would continue to move and the charge distribution would not be in static equilibrium. The electric field on the surface of the conductor is perpendicular to its surface. If this would not be the case, the free electrons would move along the surface, and the charge distribution would not be in equilibrium. The redistribution of the free electrons in the conductor under the influence of an external electric field, and the cancellation of the external electric field inside the conductor is being used to shield sensitive instruments from external electric fields. The strength of the electric field on the surface of a conductor can be found by applying Gauss' law (see Figure 24.4). The electric flux through the surface shown in Figure 24.4 is given by where A is the area of the top of the surface shown in Figure 24.4. The flux through the bottom of the surface shown in Figure 24.4 is zero since the electric field inside a conductor is equal to zero. Note that eq.(24.15) is only valid close to the conductor where the electric field is perpendicular to the surface. The charge enclosed by the surface shown in Figure 24.4 is equal to Figure 24.4. Electric field of conductor. where [sigma] is the surface charge density of the conductor. Eq.(24.16) is correct if the charge density [sigma] does not vary significantly over the area A (this condition can always be met by reducing the size of the surface being considered). Applying Gauss' law we obtain Thus, the electric filed at the surface of the conductor is given by Q.2 what is the divergence theorem? The divergence theorem, more commonly known especially in older literature as Gauss's theorem and also known as the Gauss-Ostrogradsky theorem, is a theorem in vector calculus that can be stated as follows. Let be a region in space with boundary . Then the volume integral of the divergence of over and the surface integral of over the boundary of are related by (1) The divergence theorem is a mathematical statement of the physical fact that, in the absence of the creation or destruction of matter, the density within a region of space can change only by having it flow into or away from the region through its boundary. A special case of the divergence theorem follows by specializing to the plane. Letting be a region in the plane with boundary , equation (1) then collapses to (2) If the vector field satisfies certain constraints, simplified forms can be used. For example, if where is a constant vector , then (3) But (4) so (5) (6) and (7) But , and must vary with so that equal zero. Therefore, cannot always (8) Similarly, if then , where is a constant vector , (9) Q.3 what is the stoke Theorem ? Introduction The fundamental theorem of calculus states that the integral of a function f over the interval [a, b] can be calculated by finding anantiderivative F of f: Stokes' theorem is a vast generalization of this theorem in the following sense. By the choice of F, . In the parlance of differential forms, this is saying that f(x) dx is the exterior derivative of the 0-form, i.e. function, F: in other words, that dF = f dx. The general Stokes theorem applies to higher differential forms instead of F. A closed interval [a, b] is a simple example of a onedimensional manifold with boundary. Its boundary is the set consisting of the two points a and b. Integrating f over the interval may be generalized to integrating forms on a higher-dimensional manifold. Two technical conditions are needed: the manifold has to be orientable, and the form has to be compactly supported in order to give a well-defined integral. The two points a and b form the boundary of the open interval. More generally, Stokes' theorem applies to oriented manifolds M with boundary. The boundary ∂M of M is itself a manifold and inherits a natural orientation from that of the manifold. For example, the natural orientation of the interval gives an orientation of the two boundary points. Intuitively, a inherits the opposite orientation as b, as they are at opposite ends of the interval. So, "integrating" F over two boundary points a, b is taking the difference F(b) − F(a). In even simpler terms, one can consider that points can be thought of as the boundaries of curves, that is as 0dimensional boundaries of 1-dimensional manifolds. So, just as one can find the value of an integral (f dx = dF) over a 1dimensional manifolds ([a,b]) by considering the antiderivative (F) at the 0-dimensional boundaries ([a,b]), one can generalize the fundamental theorem of calculus, with a few additional caveats, to deal with the value of integrals (dω) over n-dimensional manifolds (Ω) by considering the anti- derivative (ω) at the (n-1)-dimensional boundaries (dΩ) of the manifold. So the fundamental theorem reads: Q.4 what is the curl law ? A special case of Stokes' theorem in which is a vector field and is an oriented, compact embedded 2-manifold with boundary in , and a generalization of Green's theorem from the plane into three-dimensional space. The curl theorem states (1) where the left side is a surface integral and the right side is a line integral. There are also alternate forms of the theorem.

If (2) then (3) and if (4) then (5) Q.5 prove the relation between current density and volume charge denaity Continuous charges Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal n, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P. Position vector r is a point to calculate the electric field; r′ is a point in the charged object. Following are the definitions for continuous charge distributions.[2][3] The linear charge density is the ratio of an infinitesimal electric charge dQ (SI unit: C) to an infinitesimal line element, similarly the surface charge density uses a surface area element dS and the volume charge density uses a volume element dV Integrating the definitions gives the total charge Q of a region according to line integral of the linear charge density λq(r) over a line or 1d curve C, similarly a surface integral of the surface charge density σq(r) over a surface S, and a volume integral of the volume charge density ρq(r) over a volume V, where the subscript q is to clarify that the density is for electric charge, not other densities like mass density, number density, probability density, and prevent conflict with the many other uses of λ, σ, ρ in electromagnetism for wavelength, electrical resistivity and conductivity. Within the context of electromagnetism, the subscripts are usually dropped for simplicity: λ, σ, ρ. Other notations may include: ρℓ, ρs, ρv, ρL, ρS, ρV etc. Average charge densities The total charge divided by the length, surface area, or volume will be the average charge densities: Q.6 DEFINE AND PROVE BIOT SAVSRT LAW. In physics, particularly electromagnetism, the Biot–Savart law (pron.: /ˈbiˈoʊ səˈvɑr/ or /ˈbjoʊ səˈvɑr/)[1] is an equation that describes the magnetic field generated by an electric current. It relates the magnetic field to the magnitude, direction, length, and proximity of the electric current. The law is valid in the magnetostatic approximation, and is consistent with both Ampère's circuital law and Gauss's law for magnetism.[2] Electric currents (along closed curve) The Biot–Savart law is used to compute the resultant magnetic field B at position r generated by a steady current I (for example due to a wire): a continual flow of charges which is constant in time and the charge neither accumulates nor depletes at any point. The law is a physical example of a line integral: evaluated over the path C the electric currents flow. The equation in SI units is[3] where r is the full displacement vector from the wire element to the point at which the field is being computed and r is the unit vector of r. Using this the equation can be equivalently written where dl is a vector whose magnitude is the length of the differential element of the wire, in the direction of conventional current, and μ0 is the magnetic constant. The symbols in boldface denote vector quantities. The integral is usually around a closed curve, since electric currents can only flow around closed paths. An infinitely long wire (as used in the definition of the SI unit of electric current the Ampere) is a counter-example. To apply the equation, the point in space where the magnetic field is to be calculated is chosen. Holding that point fixed, the line integral over the path of the electric currents is calculated to find the total magnetic field at that point. The application of this law implicitly relies on the superposition principle for magnetic fields, i.e. the fact that the magnetic field is a vector sum of the field created by each infinitesimal section of the wire individually.[4] Electric currents (throughout conductor volume) The formulations given above work well when the current can be approximated as running through an infinitely-narrow wire. If the current has some thickness, the proper formulation of the Biot–Savart law (again in SI units) is: or equivalently where dV is the differential element of volume and J is the current density vector in that volume. In this case the integral is over the volume of the conductor. The Biot–Savart law is fundamental to magnetostatics, playing a similar role to Coulomb's law in electrostatics. When magnetostatics does not apply, the Biot–Savart law should be replaced by Jefimenko's equations. Constant uniform current In the special case of a steady constant current I, the magnetic field B is i.e. the current can be taken out the integral. Point charge at constant velocity In the case of a point charged particle q moving at a constant velocity v, then Maxwell's equations give the following expression for the electric field and magnetic field:[5] where r is the vector pointing from the current (non-retarded) position of the particle to the point at which the field is being measured, and θ is the angle between v and r. When v2 ≪ c2, the electric field and magnetic field can be approximated as[5] These equations are called the "Biot–Savart law for a point charge"[6] due to its closely analogous form to the "standard" Biot–Savart law given previously. These equations were first derived by Oliver Heaviside in 1888. Magnetic responses applications The Biot–Savart law can be used in the calculation of magnetic responses even at the atomic or molecular level, e.g. chemical shieldings or magnetic susceptibilities, provided that the current density can be obtained from a quantum mechanical calculation or theory. Aerodynamics applications The figure shows the velocity ( ) induced at a point P by an element of vortex filament ( ) of strength . The Biot–Savart law is also used in aerodynamic theory to calculate the velocity induced by vortex lines. In the aerodynamic application, the roles of vorticity and current are reversed as when compared to the magnetic application. In Maxwell's 1861 paper 'On Physical Lines of Force',[7] magnetic field strength H was directly equated with pure vorticity (spin), whereas B was a weighted vorticity that was weighted for the density of the vortex sea. Maxwell considered magnetic permeability μ to be a measure of the density of the vortex sea. Hence the relationship, 1. Magnetic induction current was essentially a rotational analogy to the linear electric current relationship, 2. Electric convection current where ρ is electric charge density. B was seen as a kind of magnetic current of vortices aligned in their axial planes, with H being the circumferential velocity of the vortices. The electric current equation can be viewed as a convective current of electric charge that involves linear motion. By analogy, the magnetic equation is an inductive current involving spin. There is no linear motion in the inductive current along the direction of the B vector. The magnetic inductive current represents lines of force. In particular, it represents lines of inverse square law force. In aerodynamics the induced air currents are forming solenoidal rings around a vortex axis that is playing the role that electric current plays in magnetism. This puts the air currents of aerodynamics into the equivalent role of the magnetic induction vector B in electromagnetism. In electromagnetism the B lines form solenoidal rings around the source electric current, whereas in aerodynamics, the air currents form solenoidal rings around the source vortex axis. Hence in electromagnetism, the vortex plays the role of 'effect' whereas in aerodynamics, the vortex plays the role of 'cause'. Yet when we look at the B lines in isolation, we see exactly the aerodynamic scenario in so much as that B is the vortex axis and H is the circumferential velocity as in Maxwell's 1861 paper. For a vortex line of infinite length, the induced velocity at a point is given by where Γ is the strength of the vortex and r is the perpendicular distance between the point and the vortex line. This is a limiting case of the formula for vortex segments of finite length where A and B are the (signed) angles between the line and the two ends of the segment. Cylindrical Capacitor The capacitance for cylindrical orspherical conductors can be obtained by evaluating the voltage difference between the conductors for a given charge on each. By applying Gauss' law to an infinite cylinder in a vacuum, the electric field outside a charged cylinder is found to be Index Capacitor Concepts The voltage between the cylinders can be found by integrating the electric field along a radial line: From the definition of capacitance and including the case where the volume is filled by a dielectric of dielectric constant k, the capacitance per unit length is defined as Calculation
