A Note About Field ines It is in some ways misleading to draw electric field lines because it incorrectly implies that the field exists at some points but not others. D exists here...but not here The electric field is a smooth and continuous phenomenon, but that is hard to convey in a diagram. Maxwell's Equations -- Physical Interpretation lide 7 How to Calculate Total Charge Q Method 1: urface integral of electric flux ince the density of field lines convey the amount of charge, it makes sense that we can calculate the total charge Q enclosed within a surface by integrating the flux of the field lines at the surface.

Calculate Induced oltage (1 of 2) Method 1: By experiment. Faraday performed an experiment and determined that emf d N dt The total magnetic flux accounting for the number of turns is N Bds magnetic flux N magnetic flux linkage Flux linkage is a property of a two-terminal device. It is not equivalent to flux. Flux can exist without the loop. Further, if the loops do not have the same orientation, they will not link to the magnetic field the same. Flux and flux linkage are not the same thing, but often used synonymously because most devices are designed so that each loop links the same to the magnetic field and the math reduces to them being nearly equivalent. Combing the above equations leads an expression for EMF in terms of just the magnetic flux density B. d d B emf N N B ds ds dt dt t t Maxwell's Equations -- Physical Interpretation lide 21 Calculate Induced oltage (2 of 2) Method 2: Use Kirchoff s voltage law The voltage across the terminals of the resistor can be calculated using Kirchoff s voltage law.

Maxwell's Equations -- Physical Interpretation lide 40 20
Anisotropy The dielectric response of a material arises due to the electric field displacing charges. Due to structural and bonding effects at the atomic scale, charges are often more easily displaced in some directions than others. This gives rise to anisotropy where the electric field may experience an entirely different permittivity depending on what direction it is oriented.
