5.34 In Fig. P5.

34, the plane defined by x − y = 1 separates medium 1 of


permeability µ1 from medium 2 of permeability µ2 . If no surface current exists on
the boundary and
B1 = x̂2 + ŷ3 (T)
find B2 and then evaluate your result for µ1 = 5µ2 .
Hint: Start by deriving the equation for the unit vector normal to the given plane.

x − y = 1 (Problem 5.34).

Solution: We need to find n̂2 . To do so, we start by finding any two vectors in the
plane x − y = 1, and to do that, we need three non-collinear points in that plane. We
choose (0, −1, 0), (1, 0, 0), and (1, 0, 1).
Vector A1 is from (0, −1, 0) to (1, 0, 0):

A1 = x̂ 1 + ŷ 1.

Vector A2 is from (1, 0, 0) to (1, 0, 1):

A2 = ẑ 1.

Hence, if we take the cross product A2 × A1 , we end up in a direction normal to the


given plane, from medium 2 to medium 1,

A2 × A1 × (x̂ 1 + ŷ 1) ŷ 1 − x̂1

n̂2 = = = √ = √ −√ .
