Introduction
 Electromagnetics is the study of the effect of charges at
rest and charges in motion.
 Some special cases of electromagnetics:
 Electrostatics:charges at rest
 Magnetostatics:charges in steady motion (DC)
 Electromagnetic : charges in time-varying motion (AC)
 Fundamental vector field quantities in electromagnetics:
 Electric field intensity –E units = volts per meter (V/m )
 Electric flux density (electric displacement) –D units =
coulombs per square meter (C/m2)
 Magnetic field intensity –H units = amps per meter (A/m)
 Magnetic flux density-B units = teslas= webersper square meter
(T = Wb/ m2)
In general, the physical quantities we shall be
dealing with in EM are functions of space
and time.
In order to describe the spatial variations of
the quantities, we must be able to define all
points uniquely in space in a suitable manner.
This requires using an appropriate
coordinate system.
A point or vector can be represented in any
curvilinear coordinate system, which may be
orthogonal or nonorthogonal.
An orthogonal system is one in which the
coordinates arc mutually perpendicular.
Scalar and Vector
Unit Vector / Direction Vector
A unit vector is a vector with a magnitude of one unit.
Any vector can be expressed as a scalar multiple of its
unit vector.
Position Vector
Distance Vector
Coordinate Systems
There are three types of Coordinate
systems

 Cartesian Coordinate system

 Cylindrical coordinate system

 Spherical coordinate system


Cartesian System
Cylindrical System
The circular cylindrical coordinate system is very convenient whenever
we are dealing with problems having cylindrical symmetry.
Relationship between cartesian and
cylindrical systems
azimuthal angle, is measured from the x-
axis in the xy-plane; and z is the same as
in the Cartesian system.
The ranges of the variables are
Unit vector transformation
In matrix form,
Example
Given point P(—2, 6, 3) and vector A =
yax + (x + z)ay, express P and A in
cylindrical coordinates. Evaluate A at P in
the Cartesian and cylindrical systems.
