Maxwell’s Equations
1. Show that charge density ρv satisfies,

∂ρv σ
+ ρv = 0
∂t ϵ
Is this true for all media?

2. A slab of perfect dielectric material (ϵr = 2) is placed in a microwave oven. The oven produces
an electric field (as well as a magnetic field). Assume that the electric field intensity is uniform
in space and sinusoidal in time and is in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the slab.
The microwave oven operates at a frequency of 2.45 GHz and produces an electric field intensity
with amplitude 500 V/m inside the dielectric, calculate the displacement current density in the
dielectric.

3. a) Show that the ratio of the amplitudes of the conduction current density and the displace-
ment current density is σ/ωϵ for the applied field E = Em cosωt. Assume µ = µ0 .
b) Assuming that sea water has µ = µ0 , ϵ = 81ϵ0 , σ = 20 S/m, determine the frequency
at which the conduction current density is ten times the displacement current density in
magnitude.
c) A parallel-plate capacitor with plate area of 5 cm2 and plate separation of 3 mm has a voltage
50 sin(103 t) V applied to its plates. Calculate the displacement current assuming ϵ = 2ϵo .

4. A perfectly conducting filament containing a small 500Ω resistor is formed into a square, as
illustrated by Fig. 1. Find I (t) if (a) B = 0.3 cos(120πt - 30◦ )az T; (b) B = 0.4 cos[π(ct − y)]az µT,
where c = 3 × 108 m/s.

5. What values of A and β are required if the two fields given below satisfy Maxwell’s equations in
a linear, isotropic, homogeneous medium with ϵr = µr = 4 and σ = 0?

E = 120πcos(106 πt − βx ) aˆy V/m


H = Aπcos(106 πt − βx ) aˆz A/m
Assume there are no current or charge densities in space.

Boundary conditions

6. Consider a point on the surface of a perfect conductor. The electric field intensity at that point
is E = (500x̂ − 300ŷ + 600ẑ) cos 107 t and medium surrounding the conductor is characterized by
µr = 5 and ϵr = 10 and σ = 0.
(a) Find a unit vector normal to the conductor at that point of the conductor surface.
(b) Find the instantaneous surface charge density at the point.

Uniform plane waves

7. Given the complex amplitude of the electric field of a uniform plane wave, E0 = 100x̂ + 20∠30◦ ŷ

forward z direction in free space and has frequency of 10 MHz.

8. The electric and magnetic fields for a TEM wave of frequency 14GHz in a homogeneous medium
of relative permittivity ϵr and µr = 1 are given by
E = E p e j(ωt−280πy) ẑV/m
H = 3e j(ωt−280πy) x̂A/m
Find the relative permittivity of the medium and electric field amplitude E p

9. A plane wave travels in yz-plane at an angle of 30◦ from the +y direction. The electric field of the
wave is oriented in the x-direction with an amplitude 50 V/m. Find the vector magnetic field,
the wave vector and the phase constant of the wave. The dielectric constant of medium is 2.5 and
frequency of the wave is 1 GHz.

10. In a dielectric medium, a wave has electric and magnetic fields given as,

E = ( j x̂ + 2ŷ − jẑ) exp [− jπ ( x + z)]V/m

H= (− x̂ + jŷ + ẑ) exp [− jπ ( x + z)] A/m
