Causes and effects of E
Gauss: E fields diverge from charges
Lorentz: E fields can move charges

Causes and effects of B
Ampere: B fields curl around currents
Lorentz: B fields can bend moving charges
F = q v x X = IL x B I0ldB
Changing fields create new fields!
Faraday: Changing magnetic flux induces circulating electric field

Maxwell eqns electromagnetic waves
Consider waves traveling in the x direction with frequency f=
and wavelength = /k
E(x,t)=E0 sin (kx-t) and
B(x,t)=B0 sin (kx-t)
Do these solve Faraday and Ampere’s laws?

Speed of Maxwellian waves?
Ampere
B0/E0 = 0 v
Faraday
B0/E0 = 1/v
Eliminate B0/E0 and solve for v:
0=xm = xC2 N/m2
Maxwell equations Light
E(x,t)=E0 sin (kx-t) and B(x,t)=B0 sin (kx-t)solve Faraday’s and Ampere’s laws.
Electromagnetic waves in vacuum have speed c and energy/volume = 1/2 0 E2 = B2 /(20 )
