Electromagnetics

Lorentz force

• almost all forces in mechanics are conservative forces, those that are functions nly of positions, and certainly not functions of velocities
• Lorentz force is a rare example of velocity dependent force

 

 

polarization of light

• has two possibilites
  
  • what does this mean?

 

Maxwell's equations

\(\nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} = \frac {\rho} {\varepsilon_0}\)

\(\nabla \cdot \mathbf{B} = 0\)

\(\nabla \times \mathbf{E} = -\frac{\partial \mathbf{B}} {\partial t}\)

\(\nabla \times \mathbf{B} = \mu_0\mathbf{J} + \mu_0 \varepsilon_0 \frac{\partial \mathbf{E}} {\partial t}\ \)

 

 

charge density and current density

• this is necessary for Maxwell equations with sources
• ρ the charge density
• j the conventional current density.

 

 

potentials

• vector potential
  from \(\nabla \cdot \mathbf{B} = 0\), we can find a vector potential such that \(\mathbf{B}=\nabla \times \mathbf{A}\)
  
• scalar potential
  \(E=-\frac{\partial\mathbf{A}}{\partial t} - \nabla \phi \)
  

 

four-current

• charge density and current density

\[J^a = \left(c \rho, \mathbf{j} \right)\]

where

c is the speed of light

ρ the charge density

j the conventional current density.

a labels the space-time dimensions

 

four vector potential

• this is what we call the electromagnetic field
  \(A_{\alpha} = \left( - \phi/c, \mathbf{A} \right)\)
  φ is the scalar potential and \(A\)  is the vector potential.
  

 

 

electromagnetic field

• an example of four-vector
• gague field describing the photon
• composed of a scalar electric potential and a three-vector magnetic potential

 

Covariant formulation

• electromagnetic field strength
  \(F_{\alpha \beta} = \partial_{\alpha} A_{\beta} - \partial_{\beta} A_{\alpha}\)
  

\(F_{\alpha \beta} = \left( \begin{matrix} 0 & \frac{E_x}{c} & \frac{E_y}{c} & \frac{E_z}{c} \\ \frac{-E_x}{c} & 0 & -B_z & B_y \\ \frac{-E_y}{c} & B_z & 0 & -B_x \\ \frac{-E_z}{c} & -B_y & B_x & 0 \end{matrix} \right)\)
