ECE 313: Electromagnetic Waves
Lecturer :Dr. Gehan Sami
Why we Study Electromagnetics?
At high frequencies circuit theory unable to describe the fields in circuits, so wave theory must
be used instead.
the electromagnetic waves has created a revolution in engineering applications, with
great impacts on various fields such as communication systems, industrial/biomedical
sensing, remote sensing, radar, medical imaging and treatment, security screening, and
so on.
An electromagnetic field is made up of interdependent
electric and magnetic fields, which is the case when the
fields are varying with time.

Study reveals the Great Pyramid of Giza can
focus electromagnetic energy
by Anastasia Komarova, ITMO University
Physicists interest in how the Great Pyramid would
interact with electromagnetic waves of a resonant length
wavelength from 200 to 600m (i.e. @radio waves ).
Calculations(modeling and simulation) showed that in
the resonant state, the pyramid can concentrate
electromagnetic energy in the its internal chambers as
well as under its base, where the third unfinished chamber
is located.
the scientists plan to use the results to reproduce similar
effects at the nanoscale. "Choosing a material with suitable
electromagnetic properties, we can obtain pyramidal
nanoparticles with a promise for practical application in
nanosensors and effective solar cells," says Polina Kapitainova,
Ph.D., a member of the Faculty of Physics and Technology of ITMO University.
Examples for electromagnetic Applications through electromagnetic spectrum
How do electromagnetic waves differ?
Different electromagnetic waves carry different amounts of energy.
•The amount of energy carried by an electromagnetic wave depends on the wavelength:
the shorter the wavelength, the higher its energy, so X-rays carry more energy than
microwaves.
When electromagnetic waves hit a surface, they can be reflected, absorbed or transmitted.
-behaves of the wave depend on their energy and the material the wave hits.
-as light waves are reflected by skin but X-rays pass straight through.
How X-Ray work:
-The soft tissue in your body is composed of smaller atoms, and so does not absorb X-ray
photons particularly well. The calcium atoms that make up your bones are much larger,
so they are better at absorbing X-ray photons.
-A camera on the other side of the patient records the pattern of X-ray light that passes all
the way through the patient's body. The X-ray camera uses the same film technology as an
ordinary camera, but X-ray light sets off the chemical reaction instead of visible light.
What is Electromagnetics
It is study of effects of electric charges at rest and in motion
Source of Electric fields: positive & negative electric charges
Source of magnetic fields: moving charges (current)
What is Field: it is a spatial distribution of quantity( ie function of (x,y,z) or( r,𝛳,𝜙) or (𝜌 ,𝜙,z)) which may or may not
function of time t
-time varying electric and magnetic fields are coupled time varying electromagnetic fields Radiating waves
Electrostatic Magnetostatic Time varying electromagnetics
Source Static electric charges Steady state current Time varying currents

What did you learn What will we learn
Time varying fields governing equations are ordinary differential equations, these fields are vectors with magnitude and
direction so their representation and manipulation require knowledge of vector algebra and vector calculus
Even in static case the governing equations are partial differential equations.
Thus we must know -Vector calculus such as Gradient, Divergence, curl,…
-some theorem as stokes and divergence theorem

Electric susceptibility 𝜒e is a measure of how easily Bound
charges are displaced due to an applied electric field
magnetic response
Vacuum response
When an external field E0 due to charges on the capacitor plates is applied,
a torque is exerted on the dipoles, causing them to partially align with
the field as shown in Figure. The dielectric is now polarized.
The degree of alignment of the molecules with the electric field depends
On temperature and the magnitude of the field.
In general, the alignment increases with decreasing temperature
and with increasing electric field.
So relative permittivity is a measure of the ease with which a
material is polarized by an electric field relative to vacuum.
It is defined by the magnitude of the dielectric polarization (dipole
moment per unit volume) induced by a unit field.

Note: permittivity ( 𝜀), permeability (𝜇), and the conductivity (𝜎), are spatially dependent for inhomogeneous media,
orientation dependent (tensor) for anisotropic media, and field dependent for nonlinear media.

Magnetic Susceptibility 𝜒m
The magnetic susceptibility is a measure of how easily magnetic dipoles are aligned due to an applied
magnetic field
Permanent magnets are made from "hard" ferromagnetic materials such as alnico and ferrite that are subjected to
special processing in a strong magnetic field during manufacture to align their internal microcrystalline structure, making
them very hard to demagnetize.
-ferromagnetic has large positive susceptibility, they retain their magnetism to some degree when external field is
removed.
