    The document reviews electric and magnetic fields. [1] Electric field lines point away from positive charges and toward negative charges, with higher density of lines indicating stronger fields. [2] Magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges and represented by flux lines pointing from the north to south pole of a magnet. [3] Electric and magnetic fields are interrelated in an electromagnetic field where the fields move perpendicular to each other.

    Review of Electromagnetics

     Electric Field
     Magnetic Field
    Electric Field

    A charged object has an Electric field lines point


    electric field in the in the direction of the
    space around it. electric field.

    The electric field is


    The number and
    strong where the field
    spacing of field lines is
    lines are close together
    proportional to the
    and weaker when they

    are far apart.
    Electric Field

    The lines for a


    positive charge
    point away from the
    charge.

    The lines for a


    negative charge
    point towards the
    charge.
    Electric Field
    This diagram shows the electric field line for two positive
    point charges. Notice that the same number of lines
    emerges from each charge because they are equal in
    magnitude.

    This diagram shows the electric field lines for two equal and
    opposite point charges. Notice that the lines begin on the
    positive charge and end on the negative charge.

    If the charges are unequal, then the number of


    lines emerging from them will be different. Notice
    that the positive charge has twice as many lines.
    Magnetic Field

    The area around a magnet within which magnetic force is


    exerted, is called a magnetic field. It is produced by moving
    electric charges. The presence and strength of a magnetic
    field is denoted by “magnetic flux lines”. The direction of the
    magnetic field is also indicated by these lines. The closer the
    lines, the stronger the magnetic field and vice versa.

    When iron particles are placed over a magnet, the


    flux lines can be clearly seen. Magnetic fields also
    generate power in particles which come in contact
    with it.
    Magnetic Field
    The ends of a bar magnet are called poles.
    • Like poles repel and unlike poles attract
    • Regardless of their shape, all magnets have a north
    and south pole.

    Magnetic Field lines point from the north pole to


    the south pole of the magnet.
    • The north pole of a compass needle always points
    in the direction of the field (from North to South).
    Magnetic Field

    The Earth’s geographic North pole is actually


    the magnetic south pole. The north pole of a
    compass points towards geographic north
    and since opposites attract, we know that
    the Earth’s geographic pole is magnetic
    south.
    Electromagnetic Field
    A moving charge always has both a magnetic and an
    electric field, and that’s precisely the reason why
    they are associated with each other. They are two
    different fields with nearly the same characteristics.
    Therefore, they are inter-related in a field called the
    electromagnetic field.

    In this field, the electric field and the magnetic field


    move at right angles to each other. However, they
    are not dependent on each other. They may also
    exist independently. Without the electric field, the
    magnetic field exists in permanent magnets and
    electric fields exist in the form of static electricity, in
    absence of the magnetic field.
