Electric Field - Electrodynamic Fields

Electrodynamic Fields

Electrodynamic fields are E-fields which do change with time, when charges are in motion.

An electric field can be produced, not only by a static charge, but also by a changing magnetic field. The electric field is given by:

in which B satisfies

and ∇× denotes the curl. The vector field B is the magnetic flux density and the vector A is the magnetic vector potential. Taking the curl of the electric field equation we obtain,

which is Faraday's law of induction, another one of Maxwell's equations.

Famous quotes containing the word fields:

    Most books belong to the house and street only, and in the fields their leaves feel very thin. They are bare and obvious, and have no halo nor haze about them. Nature lies far and fair behind them all. But this, as it proceeds from, so it addresses, what is deepest and most abiding in man. It belongs to the noontide of the day, the midsummer of the year, and after the snows have melted, and the waters evaporated in the spring, still its truth speaks freshly to our experience.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
